Image and Video Processing: From Mars to Hollywood with a Stop at the Hospital

371 calificaciones

In this course, you will learn the science behind how digital images and video are made, altered, stored, and used. We will look at the vast world of digital imaging, from how computers and digital cameras form images to how digital special effects are used in Hollywood movies to how the Mars Rover was able to send photographs across millions of miles of space. The course starts by looking at how the human visual system works and then teaches you about the engineering, mathematics, and computer science that makes digital images work. You will learn the basic algorithms used for adjusting images, explore JPEG and MPEG standards for encoding and compressing video images, and go on to learn about image segmentation, noise removal and filtering. Finally, we will end with image processing techniques used in medicine. This course consists of 7 basic modules and 2 bonus (non-graded) modules. There are optional MATLAB exercises; learners will have access to MATLAB Online for the course duration. Each module is independent, so you can follow your interests.

Hello, and welcome back to our Image in Video Processing class.

In the first two videos in this class, we saw numerous examples that I hope that by

now help you to understand the longer title of this class, From Mars to

Hollywood with a Stop At the Hospital. We have seen applications of all of them.

So those examples. Were useful to motivate us, and to

understand, what is image and video processing?

What are we expecting to learn in this class?

So let me just now spend only just a couple of minutes giving you some

logistics. We're going to have nine weeks of class,

including this week. And each week is going to be self

contained. I'm going to start a new topic, and I'm

going to finish that topic during that week.

Every week is going to have a number of short clips.

So there is not going to be, like, a two hours movie.

But there is going to videos that are short.

So there's going to to be a natural stopping and restarting turn.

Time, in case that you need to come back, or you need to stop, and you can't watch

all of the movies at the same time. Every week, we are going to have quizzes.

Those that want to get their certificate will need to do the quizzes.

But some of you might just be interested in watching the videos without having to

do the quizzes and you're more than welcome to do that if you're not

interested in the certificate. In the quizzes, there's going to be also

some recommended computer exercise. Those are not going to be mandatory, but

if you have time, I do recommend that you do as many as possible.

So you can experiment yourself, with all the techniques that we are learning

during this class, during this nine weeks.

One more thing I want to mention is that there's a lot of information on the

website for this class: Recommended books, links to web sites, and additional

material that we are going to be incorporating during the class if you

want to expand beyond the material provided by these videos.

Finally I should mention that about half of the class the first four to five weeks

I'm going to be on basic material, fundamental material that is still very

important today. And the second half of the class, the

last four weeks, more or less, are going to be more advanced material, basically,

some of the topics that image processing is about today.

Basically the kind of leading research that you can find in universities and

companies. So, this is it, regarding the logistics,

and I will see you in the next video, where we are going to start with some new

material on image and video processing. Thank you.
