PRESENTATION:

This course has the objective of describe the principles and techniques of digital image processing from a bottom-up perspective. The student will be firstly introduced to the mathematical framework of signal processing as a fundamental basis to understand the characteristics of image processing and analysis. Finally, the student will learn the basis and necessary tools to use reconstruction and enhancement images techniques as well as biomedical image analysis techniques performed during clinical practice and research.

PRE-REQUISITES:

The course will be delivered in English language. Academic reading and writing skills are expected from the students. Theory lectures will be completed with programming examples and practices/ projects will require programing in Python, so students should have general programming knowledge. Basic knowledge of mathematics and statistics are also required.

Subject planning could be modified due unforeseen circumstances (group performance, availability of resources, changes to academic calendar etc.) and should not, therefore, be considered to be definitive.


TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES AND ACTIVITIES:

Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:

Magistral lectures will be used to explain the different aspects of the subject and encouraged to be highly dynamic and interactive with visual examples and codes. Small exercises will be solved during class to consolidate the concepts. Moreover, in selected time moments, small on-line tests will be proposed to the students to assess their knowledge and follow-up of the subject.

Magistral lectures schedule will be altered with webinars and workshop sessions where the students will consolidate and practice the subject concepts mixing problem-based and project-based learning approaches. Additionally, an individual coursework session will be scheduled where the students will put in practice the concepts of the subject using a project-based learning approach.

The subject requires a high theoretical and practical effort from the student, and it is important to follow the concepts and exercises during the presential lectures. Additionally, the students will have via PDU many proposed exercises by the teacher with small tasks and challenges for autonomous learning. As a matter of that, the lecturer will be available to students during the tutorial schedule to help them in all matters concerning the course.
