Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1 Demonstrate a knowledge of a broad range of fundamental image processing and image analysis techniques and concepts (linear and non-linear filtering, denoising, deblurring, edge detection, line finding, detection, morphological operators, compression, shape metrics and feature based recogniton) 2 Identify, Demonstrate and apply their knowledge by analysing image processing problems and recognising and employing (or proposing) effective solutions 3 Design and create practical solutions to a range of common image processing problems and to critically assess the results of their solutions, including shortcomings
The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia .

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course relies on lectures as the primary delivery mechanism for the material. Tutorials supplement the lectures by providing exercises and example problems to enhance the understanding obtained through lectures. Practicals and assignments are used to provide hands-on experience for
students to reinforce the concepts encountered in lectures. Continuous assessment activities via programming assignments provide the formative assessment opportunities for students to gauge their progress and understanding.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

2. Spatial transforms and/or registration (week 6)
3. Edge detection and line finding (week 8)
4. Segmentation and Object Classification (week 10)
Other
• Informal Quiz (week 8)
• Revision (week 12)
• Consulting (times to be advised)Specific Course Requirements
Students are required to have access to Matlab software. This is available at various facilities such as the CATS suite or the undergraduate computer labs of the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering. It is the individual student’s responsibility to ensure his or her access to these facilities at appropriate times is available. -
Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
* The specific due date for each assessment task will be available on MyUni.Assessment Task Weighting (%) Individual/ Group Formative/ Summative Due (week)* Hurdle criteria Learning outcomes Assignments (4, combination of code and written questions, report format) 50 Individual Summative Weeks 5-12 Min 50% 2. 3. Exam 50 Individual Summative Exam Week Min 50% 1. 2. Total 100
This assessment breakdown is registered as an exemption to the University's . The exemption is related to the Procedures clause(s): 1. b. 3.
This course has a hurdle requirement. Meeting the specified hurdle criteria is a requirement for passing the course.Assessment Related Requirements
The examination and assignments are prescribed summative assessment exercises in which students must obtain at least a total of 50% in both the assignment and exam. Failure to achieve at least 50% in either the exam or the practical work will mean that the student will obtain a final total mark of no more than 49%.Assessment Detail
Details of individual assessment tasks will be provided during the semester.Submission
All assignment submissions to formative assessment activities are to be submitted electronically via the links provided in the assignments Folder of this course on MyUni.Any late submissions will receive
penalties. All formative assessments will have a 2-3 week turn-around time for provision of feedback to students.Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme) Grade Mark Description FNS Fail No Submission F 1-49 Fail P 50-64 Pass C 65-74 Credit D 75-84 Distinction HD 85-100 High Distinction CN Continuing NFE No Formal Examination RP Result Pending Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.
Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
