Course Description:
Provides an introduction to algorithms for image and video analysis that have practical application in areas ranging from multimedia to robotics, from medical imaging to remote sensing. Provides background in image processing and image formation. Focus on algorithms for image and video analysis based on color, texture, shading, stereo, and motion. A basic introduction to recognition and detection algorithms is also provided. Topics in image metamorphosis, digital watermark, image coding, and multimedia databases will be covered as time allows.

Prerequisites:
CS 112 (or CS 113) plus MA 242 and MA 225, or permission of the instructor.

No prior knowledge of computer graphics or signal processing is necessary, but students must have a working knowledge of mathematics through calculus of two variables, including matrices and linear spaces, and a familiarity with basic probability theory.

Requirements:
Participants complete bi-weekly programming projects. Project reports are due before the beginning of class.

Participants (auditors included) will prepare a one-page write-up that summarizes and critiques the suppplemental readings as assigned. Commentaries are to be written in HTML format. They are due via e-mail before class, and will be posted on the course web page.
