The Digital Image Processing (DIP) course, offered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy, delves into the essential techniques and principles of image analysis. In today's science, the ability to analyze data in image form is crucial across disciplines like medicine, remote sensing, and astronomy. This course is not practical in nature but aims to equip students with theoretical knowledge. Topics include applications in telecommunications, broadcasting, medical imaging, and space exploration. Resources include course slides, handouts, and references for further study.

Topic 1 - Introduction Department of Physics and Astronomy DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING Course 3624 Professor Bob Warwick
Why is DIP relevant? • The analysis of data in the form of images is an increasingly important and relevant topic in many areas of science including medicine, remote sensing, astronomy etc.. • Image capture, manipulation & transmission is also a key component of many modern technologies. • Digital images are now a common feature of modern life eg the internet, telephones, home photography
Applications of DIP • Telecommunications (Internet, video phones) • Broadcasting (digital TV) • Surveillance (security systems, law enforcement) • Medical Imaging • Machine vision (guidance, control, robotics....) • Remote Sensing of the Earth • Space Exploration • Astronomy • etc..

About This Course • This course serves as a primerto the techniques of digital image processing (DIP) and their implementation. • It looks at the principles and theory on which DIP techniques are based – it is NOT a practical course in the subject. • Course slides are available from my web page at: http://www.star.le.ac.uk/~rsw Other resources: Course Handouts, Example Questions etc..
