Image processing, digital and computational geometry

Course offered in the second semester of M1.

Objectives of the course:

The objective of this course is to introduce fundamental notions of image processing, digital geometry and computational geometry.  The first lectures will be dedicated to image processing (filtering, smoothing, morphological mathematics, ..) and shape representation. Then, we will focus on theoretical and algorithmic issues involved in the analysis of digital shapes. During this analysis of  digital geometry processing tools, we will have to present and integrate some tools from various fields: discrete mathematics, combinatorics, arithmetics, computational geometry, ..

Course contents:

  • Image/Shape representation
  • Image processing (filtering, segmentation)
  • Digital Geometry for shape analysis
  • Computational geometry and data structures
  • Requirements: basic notions of algorithmics
