1. A review on image processing and computer vision methods.

Topics of this unit include:

a) Image transforms: the 2D Fourrier& Discrete cosine transform (DCT).

b) Image compression: the JPEG standard is method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. 

c) Morphological transformations: Mathematical morphology (MM) is a theory and technique for the analysis and processing of geometrical structures, based on set theory, lattice theory, topology, and random functions. MM is most commonly applied to digital images, but it can be employed as well on graphs, surface meshes, solids, and many other spatial structures.
