Course detail

Processing of multidimensional signals

FEKT-BPC-ZVSAcad. year: 2025/2026

The Processing of Multidimensional Signals course addresses one-dimensional time signals and two-dimensional image signals. Computer based methods and procedures intended for signal and image processing are the main parts of the course.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

6

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Entry knowledge

The basic knowledge on the level of secondary school is required in the Processing of Multidimensional Signals course.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Weekly computer exercises (40 pts) and a final exam (60 pts) are evaluated during the Processing of Multidimensional Signals course. For successful pass the course, obtaining of at least half of available points is required in both mentioned parts.
The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.

Aims

The course is  aimed to discrete signals and discrete images. First of all, fundamentals of signal processing, sampling theory, signal reconstruction and discrete filters are introduced with a view to further image processing. Next part of the course contains theory of discrete image processing as geometric and brightness transformations, integral transformations, gradient operators, mathematical morphology and fundamentals of segmentation and classification.
Graduate of the course is able to design and to implement algorithms and methods for processing of both one-dimensional time signals and two-dimensional image signals.
