Techning methods include lectures and practical laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning (Moodle) system.

- up to 60 points for the written exam
- up to 40 points for laboratory tests
The written exam is taken at the end of semester. It contains simple tasks in the form of concrete questions as to mathematical constructions, constraints of algorithms, basic equations and principles of methods, often in the form of a fill-in quiz.
Two tests are arranged in the laboratory exercises (in the 6th and 12th weeks of the semester) each for max. 20 points. The tests contain tasks corresponding to the content of realised laboratory exercises. There is no lab-test-based qualification limit for the written exam.

1. Basic terms of digital image processing, algorithmisation, OpenCV library using C++ API.
2. Intensity transformations, histogram equalization.
3. Geometric image transformations, homogenous coordinates, interpolation techniques.
4. Discreet Fourier Transform, image filtering in the frequency domain.
5. Image processing in the spatial domain, convolution, filtering, edge detection.
6. Basics of image segmentation, automatic threshold estimation, Canny edge detector, Viola-Jones object detector.
7. Pinhole camera model, parallel projection, perspective projection, translation, rotation, calibration.
8. Homography, panorama image stitching, projective transformation, cylindrical, spherical panorama, basics of automatic correspondence matching.
9. Epipolar geometry, image stereo pair, rectification.
10.Biometric image identification, PCA, face recognition.
11.Spatial information extraction, correspondence problem, disparity space, dynamic programming.
12.Optical flow, scene motion estimation, object tracking, methods by Horn-Schunck, Lucas-Kanade, Farnebäck.

The aim of the course is to make students familiar with a high-quality applicative knowledge of advanced techniques of static and dynamic image processing 2D and 3D and to enable them to master both the theory and the practise of advanced techniques of image processing.

Laboratory lessons are obligatory. Justified absence can be made up after prior arrangement with the instructor.
