Please note that this course is arranged only in English.

Max amount of FITech students: 30

Persons without a valid study right at a Finnish university or university of applied sciences have preference to this course.

The course gives an introduction to digital image processing methods. The emphasis is in various image filtering techniques implemented both in spatial and frequency domains. Also, image compression and basic image segmentation methods are covered. Homework assignments using Jupyter notebooks and Python programming language provide practical experience for applying the methods to real photographs.
