Course Description

This course gives an introduction on mathematical models and techniques for various image processing tasks. Our focus will be on the mathematical aspects of different imaging problems. A wide array of topics will be covered, including image restoration (denoising, deblurring), image segmentation, image compression, image registration, multi-scale image analysis and so on.

Honesty in Academic Work

The Chinese University of Hong Kong places very high importance on honesty in academic work submitted by students, and adopts a policy of zero tolerance on cheating and plagiarism. Any related offence will lead to disciplinary action including termination of studies at the University. Although cases of cheating or plagiarism are rare at the University, everyone should make himself / herself familiar with the content of the following website:

http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/

and thereby help avoid any practice that would not be acceptable.
