Introduction: What is computer vision? A brief history.

Image Formation: Photometric image formation, The digital camera.

Image processing: Point operators, Linear filtering.

Image processing: More neighborhood operators, Fourier transforms, Pyramids and wavelets, and Geometric transformations.

Image Restoration and Reconstruction: A model of Image degradation/restoration process, restoration in the presence of noise only, periodic noise reduction by frequency domain filtering.

Image Segmentation: Fundamentals, Point, Line and edge detection, thresholding (Foundation & Basic global thresholding only), Segmentation by region growing & region splitting & merging.

Color Image Processing: Color fundamentals, color models, Pseudocolor image processing, full color image processing, color transformations, color image smoothing and sharpening, Using color in image segmentation, Noise in color images.

Morphological Image Processing: Preliminaries, Erosion and Dilation, opening and closing, Hit-ormiss transform, some basic morphological algorithms.

Feature Extraction: Background, Boundary preprocessing (Boundary following & Chain codes only).

Image pattern Classification: Background, Patterns and classes, Pattern classification by prototype matching (Minimum distance classifier only).
