Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
After completion of this course, students should be able to:
1. Demonstrate a broad understanding of the standard image processing issues and analysis techniques used in the commercial and sciantific community.
2. Perform techniques to enhance of contrast and colour, and thereby the visual perception, of contrast degraded imagery.
3. Remove nopise andn other imaging artefacts from real-world imagery using a variety of filtering techniques in both the spatial and frequency domain.
4. Demonstrate an understanding of spatial resampling, linear spatial transforms and optical flow techniques.
5. Employ such techniques to resample imagery and accurately register pairs of images.
6. Apply and understand image analysis techniques to imagery in order to detect structures such as edges, lines and corners.
7. Detect/Extract regions of interest from an image using various thresholding and segmentation
techniques and employ morphological filtering techniques to clean up and cluster such regions for further analysis.
8. Understand represenations of shapes of regions in image using various shape and texture measures which could then be used to either classify or recognize an object.
9. Demonstrate the use of region classification techniques using various shape descriptions.
10. Identify and apply these techniques to solve real-world real-world image processing problems.

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

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
Assessment activity Type Weighting Due date Learning outcomes addressed Assignment Summative 50% Weeks 5, 8, 10, 12 approx All Exam Summative 50% End of semester All 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.
