N...

Language(s) of instruction :

French language

Organisation and examination :

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Course contents :

In many situations, the bioengineer has to acquire its own images using cameras. Therefore, the course extends beyond the strict Image Analysis in order to address some issues related to the acquisition of images. It also deals with object recognition. Its content is the following:
- Human and computer vision - Components of an image processing unit - Image representation - Image pre-processing - Segmentation, feature selection (color, shape, texture) - Object recognition
The approach is mostly intuitive (rather than mathematical) and relies heavily on the use of Matlab software.

Learning outcomes of the course :

The objective of the course is to familiarize students of Master in Sciences and Environmental Technologies with technologies they will be led to encounter in their professional life or during research.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to: - Perform basic operations to enhance images - Perform image segmentation - Select the color attributes, shape and texture - Perform pattern recognition with Matlab software

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

Physics, Informatics, Metrology, Statistics

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

Lectures (12h) and practical work (12h)

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

Face-to-face
