| Syllabus Past Exams Syllabus: Elements of Image processing and Analysis: Biology and physics of image formation and recognition-Digital images. Components of image processing system sensors, digitizer, processers, display unit, and hard copier. Mathematical preliminaries required vector algebra, orthogonal transformations, probability and statistics, fuzzy sets and properties, and mathematical morphology. Image processing Greyvalue histograms, Greyvalue distributions & statistics, thresholding & segmentation; Point operations Histogram transforms, pixels, gridding & quantization; Patterns and classes; image enhancement, image smoothening, image sharpening, image restoration, image compression, and image registration. Image analysis image segmentation, edge and line detection, feature extraction, and description.
