Aim

The main aim of the course is to give a basic introduction to theory and mathematical methods used in image analysis, to an extent that will allow the student to handle industrial image processing problems. In addition the aim is to help the student develop his or her ability in problem solving, both with or without a computer. A further aim is to prepare the student for further studies in e.g. computer vision, multispectral image analysis and statistical image analysis.
