IN5520 – Digital Image Analysis
Course description
Course content
The course covers methods for analysis of digital images, segmentation, and object description. Central topics are feature extraction and classification of objects in images.
Learning outcome
After this course you?ll:
- have good knowledge on methods for texture analysis and the assumptions behind them.
- have good knowledge of object shape representation and description.
- understand the theory and the linear algebra behind central methods for supervised classification of images, in particular Gaussian classifiers.
- understand the concept of curse-of-dimensionality and can use the theory in practice to carefully choose a subset of features and control the complexity of the classifier robustly.
- know the theory behind central methods for feature selection and linear feature transforms.
Admission to the course
Students admitted at UiO must?apply for courses?in Studentweb. Students enrolled in other Master's Degree Programmes can, on application, be admitted to the course if this is cleared by their own study programme.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about?admission requirements and procedures for international applicants.
