Authorised by Academic Registrar, April 1996
Objectives The student is expected to develop: an understanding of the role that digital imaging plays in a modern technological society; a familiarity with the mathematical and signal processing foundations of digital imaging; an appreciation of the concepts of digital imaging and the ability to apply those concepts to a range of imaging applications
Synopsis This subject is directed towards the relatively new discipline of digital imaging. The subject addresses both the theoretical knowledge that underpins digital imaging as well as the application of that knowledge to such areas as medicine, satellites and resource management, robotics, document processing and graphics. The focus of that subject is the various transform, convolution and image processing techniques which are used to enhance the extraction of visual information from digital images.
Assessment One computer-based assignment: 30% + One computer-based personalised project: 30% + One computer-based assignment to be completed under supervision conditions in which the student's work is authenticated: 40%
