| Course Objectives |
|
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to
- Analyze digital capture and display systems to determine their accuracy in the reproduction of images;
- Analyze images by frequency domain and statistical methods to determine properties of the imaging systems that generated them;
- Characterize color image capture systems, e.g., cameras and scanners, to measure their relative quality and to enhance their use in a digital imaging system;
- Characterize color image display devices, e.g., printers and electronic displays, to measure their capability limits and to enhance their use in a digital imaging system;
- Combine the above abilities to create an imaging system that will achieve the near optimal performance.
