  • Digital topology and mathematical morphology

Readings/Bibliography

R. C. Gonzalez e R. E. Woods, Digital image processing, 3rd Edition, Prentice Hall, 2008.

Teaching methods

  • Lectures
  • Guided exercises at the PC

Assessment methods

Learning results are assessed through a written test of 90 minutes, during which it is not allowed to use books, notes, or any electronic device. The examination aims to assess the achievement of the following learning objectives: 1) detailed knowledge of the image processing algorithms discussed during the course; 2) ability to implement such algorithms and apply them in software programs; 3) understanding of the main functionalities of the class library used during the lab exercises. To this end, the written test contains both theoretical questions and practical exercises, which ask the student to implement algorithms or portions of algorithms of image processing in C #, exploiting also some functionalities of the class library used during the lab exercises.

Teaching tools

  • Lecture notes (Available here)
  • C# classes to be used in the lab exercises
