IMAGE PROCESSING
Semester-VI

Type of course: Professional Elective Course-II

Prerequisite:
1. Knowledge of Fourier transform
2. Probability theory
3. Good programming skills.

Rationale:
This course will provide students with more techniques in the digital image processing for image
enhancement as well as restoration of noisy images. Emphasis is given more on implementation of various
algorithms so that students will able to develop their own algorithm. The techniques covered in the syllabus
have wide applicability in any field which needs to handle the image data.

1. Enhance the given degraded image (pick up any suitable degraded image which contains letters
also) such that we may be able to read the letter properly. Try to get best possible quality of image.
2. Identify type of the noise present in the image using frequency as well as in spatial domain
concepts and judge the basic behavioral characteristics of the various noises.
3. Capture the real time binary photo and apply the various segmentation algorithms to identify the
various objects presents in the image (i.e road, trees, river etc.)
4. Assign face recognition problem.
