IT 281: Image Science

The image science course will explore basic operations on images, to include image formation, intensity transformations, filtering, color maps, compression and file representation, and special considerations for video processing. The major goal of the course is to enable non-image experts to understand images in sufficient detail to enable an understanding of and facility with the ways that images are used in all areas of technology, with a focus on media technology. Optional topics may include advanced image transformations, generative image technologies, noise mitigation and in-filling after object removal.
