Announcements

March 13, 2008: Sample exam (2005). Ignore the last question on wavelets. For a detailed discussion/solutions, see 2005 solution. Your final h/w is due tomorrow by 5PM. Today's office hours are from 11am - 12 noon.

March 10, 2008, 9pm: Check the updated version of the HW#9, see also the notes below.

Feb 28, 2008: Office hours today from 2-4pm (instead of 11am - 1pm). HW #8 (optional, make-up midterm II questions, due tomorrow -- Feb 29, 9am. Note the time and date.)

Feb 23, 2008: Discussion session notes on Rotation/Translation of an image (download pdf notes). Corrected solutions for 2006 and 2007 Midterm II posted. Please download these--should have 'mod' at the end of the name before the .pdf.

February 5, 2008: Graded h/ws and midterm 1 can be collected from the TAs. Please contact the TAs (during office hours or by email)

Reference Book: Digital Image Processing (http://www.imageprocessingplace.com) by Gonzalez and Woods. The book's web site contains pointers to additional resources and you are encouraged to take a look. There is a companion book, Digital Image Processing using Matlab, that emphasizes more of the MATLAB usage than the theory part.

About the course: ECE 178 is an introductory course in image processing. In this course, you will learn about digital images and how you can manipulate them.  Open to students in Engineering. You should have good background in basic calculus. Preliminary topics such as basics of linear systems, linear and circular convolution, and 2-D Fourier transform will be introduced during the first two weeks. You are expected to learn and use MATLAB and the Image Processing Toolbox for your programming assignments. No prior knowledge of MATLAB is required. 

Grading Policy: 30% HWs (includes class participation, quiz, etc.), 20% Mid-term examinations, and 50% for the final examination. First mid-term examination will be in class on Jan 31. The second mid term exam is on Feb 26 (in class). All home-works/programming assignments are required (a non-submission will affect your grade non-linearly). The home works are due by 5 PM on the day they are due. Those that are received late will not get any credit.

Resources on the web

Check out the book web site, http://www.imageprocessingplace.com. The companion book's (DIP using MATLAB) web site also lists links to useful MATLAB tutorials. See http://www.imageprocessingplace.com/DIPUM/dipum_students/students.htm. In particular, work out the "projects" listed on the web site, they are helpful in getting you started on MATALB.

The following material supplement class lectures and are not substitutes for attending the lectures and discussion sessions. You are responsible for attending the lectures regularly and taking good notes. Note that "black board" notes/discussions are not necessarily included in the power point slides.
