Equally suited for students of mathematics and computer science.
Requires undergraduate knowledge in mathematics (e.g. ''Mathematik
für Informatiker I-III'') . Knowledge in image processing or differential
equations is useful, but not required. The lectures will be given
in English.
Many modern techniques in image processing and computer vision make
use of methods based on partial differential equations (PDEs) and
variational calculus. Moreover, many classical methods may be
reinterpreted as approximations of PDE-based techniques. In this
course we will get an in-depth insight into these methods.
For each of these techniques, we will discuss the basic ideas
as well as theoretical and algorithmic aspects. Examples from
the fields of medical imaging and computer aided quality control
illustrate the various application possibilities.
Since this class guides its participants to many
research topics in our group, its attendance is required for
everyone who wishes to pursue a master thesis in our
group.
A combination of theoretical, programming and classroom assignments is
offered. Previous experiences have shown that they are very helpful
for understanding the methods.
