Course objectives

At the end of the course students should be able to: understand the state-of-the-art mathematically well-founded methods of digital image processing; numerically solve basic partial differential equations and variational problems of digital image processing.

Syllabus

• Image as a function, computation of differential operators
• Linear diffusion vs. Gaussian blur
• Nonlinear isotropic diffusion
• Nonlinear anisotropic diffusion
• Variational filtering
• Mathematical morphology as a solution of PDE (dilation and erosion), shock filtering
• Parametric active contours (snakes)
• Fast marching algoritmus, basics of level set methods
• Level-set methods (numerical schemes)
• Segmentation (geodesic active contours, Mumford-Shah and Chan-Vese funkcionals)
• Optical flow
• Graph-cut based minimization
