CSC432 Pattern recognition and image processing |
Course outline:
One part of the unit provides an introduction to data compression techniques in
a wide range of application areas. These
areas include universal data compression - a problem domain where minimal
assumptions are made about the nature of
the data - to areas like image compression and audio compression. Although
discussion of image compression
techniques is the single largest component of this part of the course, it is
not expected that students will have any
background in either graphics or image processing. The other part of the unit
will discuss pattern recognition methods and
their applications in image processing and analysis. Topics include:
Introduction to PR Concepts and Methodologies;
Pattern Classification Methods; Cluster Analysis; Feature Selection and
Extraction; Classification of an Image;
Segmentation of Monochrome and Colour Images; and Image Texture Analysis.
