Module summary

Image analysis techniques are used in many domains such as medical image analysis, navigation and visual surveillance. This module studies a selection of these techniques in depth. You will learn about the problems and solutions in particular application areas; how to evaluate the performance of the methods and to apply the theoretical knowledge gained to design image analysis systems for solving specific problems

Objectives

On completion of this module, students should be able to:
- demonstrate an understanding of the principal ideas and techniques of image analysis;
- demonstrate an understanding of a selection of these techniques in depth;
- appreciate the problems and solutions adopted in some of its main application areas;
- apply the theoretical knowledge gained in the module to the design of image analysis systems for solving specific problems.

Learning outcomes
On completion of the year/programme students should have provided evidence of being able to:
-to demonstrate in-depth, specialist knowledge and mastery of techniques relevant to the discipline and/or to demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of concepts, information and techniques at the forefront of the discipline;
-to exhibit mastery in the exercise of generic and subject-specific intellectual abilities;
-to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of techniques applicable to their own research or advanced scholarship;
-proactively to formulate ideas and hypotheses and to develop, implement and execute plans by which to evaluate these;
-critically and creatively to evaluate current issues, research and advanced scholarship in the discipline.

Skills outcomes
Computer programming.
Performance evaluation.
