Course Objectives
Provide the student with the fundamentals of digital image processing.
Give the students a taste of the applications of the theories taught in the subject. This will be achieved through the
project and some selected lab sessions. Introduce the students to some advanced topics in digital image processing.
Give the students a useful skill base that would allow them to carry out further study should they be interested and to
work in the field.
