    CS202 and MATH/STAT 352. If you do not meet the prerequisite requirements for this course, you should see me immediately.

    Description/Objectives

    Digital image processing is among the fastest growing computer technologies of the 1990s. With increasing computer power, it is now possible to do numerically many tasks that were previously done using analogue techniques. The objective of this course is to provide an introduction to the theory and applications of digital image processing.

    Course Outline (tentative)

    Exams and Assignments

    Grading will be based on two exams, homework assignments, and programming assignments. Specifically, homework problems will be assigned and collected for grading on a regular basis. Homework solutions will be made available for each assignment after the submission deadline.There will be 2 exams: a midterm and a final. The material covered in the exams will be drawn from the lectures and the homework. Also, there will be several programming assignments which will be done on an individual basis. For each programming assignment, you are to turn in a brief report which should include a description of the problem, a description of your approach, and your evaluation of the results. Details of the deliverables will be given for each assignment respectively.

    Course Policies

    Lecture slides, assignments, and other useful information will be posted on the this web page. Graduate students will be required to do extra work in the form of extra homework problems, extra exam problems, and a paper presentation at the end of the semester. Discussion of the programming assignments is allowed and encouraged. However, each student should do his/her own work. Assignments which are too similar will receive a zero. No late homework or programming assignments will be accepted unless there is an extreme emergency. If you are unable to hand in an assignment by the deadline, you must discuss it with me before the deadline. Both exams will be closed books, closed notes. If you are unable to attend an exam you must inform me in advance. No incomplete grades (INC) will be given in this course and a missed exam may be made up only if it was missed due to an extreme emergency. Regular attendance is highly recommended. If you miss a class, you are responsible for all material covered or assigned in class. You should carefully read the section on Academic Dishonesty found in the UNR Student Handbook (copies of this section are available on-line)) Your continued enrollment in this course implies that you have read it, and that you subscribe to the principles stated therein.

    Disability Statement

    Any student with a disability needing academic accomodations is requested to speak with me or contact the Disability Resource Center (Thompson Building, Suite 101), as soon as possible to arrange for appropriate accomodations.
