Probabilistic techniques are employed quite successfully in the processing and analysis of images, however, they also play a vital role in pattern classification, data mining and learning theory.
In this course we will discuss
basic notions from probability theory and statistics as well as from image processing
histogram based image analysis and enhancement methods
the probabilistic background of the Karhunen-Loeve expansion and principal component analysis used for data compression, for example.
the notion of entropy in image registration
and, if time permits, we will give an introduction to the basic ideas of Markov random fields and simulated annealing.
The lectures are suited for students of mathematics and computer science. Undergraduate level knowledge of mathematics is required. The necessary knowledge from image processing and statistics/probability theory will be provided during classes.
Time: Wednesday 11:00–13:00 (11 a.m. –1 p.m.)
Location: Bld. 45, Lecture hall 003
