The course aims to introduce the fundamental concepts of image and video processing and analysis, covering everything from digital representation to modern techniques based on deep neural networks and generative models.
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
a. Understand the fundamentals of digital image and video representation and storage;
b. Apply basic and advanced image processing techniques to improve quality and extract relevant information;
c. Understand how image feature extraction methods work;
d. Apply object recognition techniques using classical and machine learning approaches;
e. Understand and use convolutional neural networks for image analysis;
f. Understand the principles of generative image methods, including GANs and diffusion models;
g. Apply Transformer-based architectures for image analysis and information extraction;
