Image Processing and Understanding Course Date: 9 - 11 November 1998 At the Defence Evaluation & Research Agency (DERA), Malvern, Worcestershire, UK - A comprehensive tutorial on the key practical aspects of image processing and image understanding techniques. - Learn how to use and apply the technology. - Learn how to decide what processes and techniques to use to tackle important applications and problems. - Up to date course given by key experts from top research groups: Prof. J. M. Brady - University of Oxford Dr R. Cipolla - University of Cambridge Dr M. J. Varga - Defence Evaluation & Research Agency What will you learn? Background and current state-of-the-art - the theoretical basis of image processing and understanding techniques. The course will give the individual insight into a variety of complex algorithms as they apply to different applications. Three days of practical learning and in depth teaching through formal lectures will be reinforced by on-line demonstrations of existing systems and approaches. This will enable the individual to: - Learn about the techniques - Understand the differences between the various algorithms - Assess the performance of different techniques and understand how to match techniques to applications. Topics covered include techniques and theory for sensor imaging, digitisation, filtering, object detection and classification, image matching, image analysis, overall processes. Participants will receive a comprehensive set of lecture notes for all the topics covered in the course. Who should attend? Anyone involved in research and development in image/video processing, analysis and understanding: Engineers - Software & System Developers - Industrial Scientists - Research Scientists The course is considered by the IEE to be suitable for the maintenance or enhancement of a competence relevant to an individual's Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
