Image Processing and Understanding Course 17th - 19th November 1999 Defence Evaluation & Research Agency, Malvern, Worcestershire, UK A comprehensive seminar on the key technical aspects of image processing and understanding techniques. Learn how to decide what processes and techniques to use to tackle important applications and problems and how to use and apply the technology. Up to date course organised 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 on 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 demonstrations of existing systems and approaches. This will enable the individual to: Understand the techniques Learn the difference between different algorithms and when to use them. Assess the performance of different techniques and thus help choose them for particular applications. Topics covered include techniques and theory for sensor imaging, digitisation, filtering, object detection and classification, image matching and image analysis as well as overall processes. Participants will receive a comprehensive set of lecture notes for all the topics covered in the course.
