Signal and Image Processing (SIP)
Course content
The course introduces basic computational, statistical, and mathematical techniques for representing, modeling, and analysing signals and images. Signals and images are measurements, which are correlated over time and/or space, and these measurements typically originate from a physical system ordered on a grid. Examples are 1-dimensional sound, 2-dimensional images from a consumer camera, 3-dimensional reconstructions from medical scanners, and movies.
Applications include; removal of high-frequency noise in signals, and detecting and segmenting objects in images.
