Type of module:
Summary module description:
The module delivers a set of topics involved in image analysis, such as image enhancement, image compression, image segmentation, and colour image processing. Relevant techniques are introduced in lectures and practised in assigned lab-based coursework.ÌýÌý
Aims:
The module aims to provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge of digital image processing and analysis from various techniques and applications.
This module also encourages students to develop a set of professional skills, such as problem solving; critical analysis of published literature; creativity; technical report writing for technical and non-technical audiences; self-reflection; and effective use of commercial software. Research elements are built into the coursework assignment to enhance students’ research studies.
Assessable learning outcomes:
Students who complete this module will have:
- basic skills for image analysis;
- the ability to address issues associated with techniques of image transformation, histogram analysis and modification, image morphological operations and colour image manipulation;
- skills to develop algorithms for digital image enhancement, image compression and texture-based image segmentation.
- skill of critical analysis existing techniques and decision making in solving a real-world problem.
This module will be assessed to a greater depth than the excluded module CS3IA16.
Additional outcomes:
Programming skills can be improved from coursework assignments, which associate with practical assignments.Ìý Research studies are also involved in coursework assignments.
Outline content:
The module covers the following topics.
- digital image fundamentals;
- image enhancement in the spatial domain;
- image enhancement in the frequency domain;
- colour image processing;
- mathematical morphology in image processing;
- image compression;
- image segmentation.

Penalties for late submission:
The below information applies to students on taught programmes except those on Postgraduate Flexible programmes. Penalties for late submission, and the associated procedures, which apply to Postgraduate Flexible programmes are specified in the policy £Penalties for late submission for Postgraduate Flexible programmes£, which can be found here: /cqsd/-/media/project/functions/cqsd/documents/cqsd-old-site-documents/penaltiesforlatesubmissionpgflexible.pdf
The Support Centres will apply the following penalties for work submitted late:
- where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day (or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of five working days;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than five working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.
Assessment requirements for a pass:
A mark of 50% overall.
Reassessment arrangements:
One 2-hour examination paper in August/September. Note that the resit module mark will be the higher of (a) the mark from this resit exam and (b) an average of this resit exam mark and previous coursework marks, weighted as per the first attempt (30% exam, 70% coursework).
Additional Costs (specified where applicable):
1) Required text books:Ìý None
2) Specialist equipment or materials:Ìý None
3) Specialist clothing, footwear or headgear:Ìý None
4) Printing and binding:Ìý None
5) Computers and devices with a particular specification:Ìý None
