Aims
To introduce the students to the fundamentals of image processing and provide them with the essential knowledge about the main themes, so that, in the future, the students will be able to readily apply their knowledge in industry or research or further enhance it by self study. The Course is divided into two sections: Image Processing and Machine Vision.

Teaching Activities
Category | Activity | Number | Length | Student Hours | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Structured Guided Learning | Lecture materials | 5 | 0:30 | 2:30 | One online synchronous tutorial every other week from second week, covering tutorial sheets. |
Scheduled Learning And Teaching Activities | Lecture | 11 | 2:00 | 22:00 | 2x1hr lectures per week over 11 weeks. |
Guided Independent Study | Assessment preparation and completion | 12 | 1:00 | 12:00 | Revision for final exam |
Guided Independent Study | Assessment preparation and completion | 1 | 2:00 | 2:00 | Final Exam in Assessment Period |
Structured Guided Learning | Structured research and reading activities | 11 | 1:00 | 11:00 | Reading activity to supplement knowledge of material taught in each week. |
Scheduled Learning And Teaching Activities | Workshops | 5 | 1:00 | 5:00 | One online synchronous tutorial every other week from second week, covering tutorial sheets. |
Guided Independent Study | Independent study | 1 | 45:30 | 45:30 | Reviewing lecture notes; general reading |
Total | 100:00 |
Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Non-synchronous videos and face-to-face lectures provides the core material and synchronous review sessions give students the opportunity to query material taught in that week.
Problem solving is introduced and practiced through synchronous tutorial sessions.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Exams
Description | Length | Semester | When Set | Percentage | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Written Examination | 120 | 2 | A | 100 | Choice of 3 question from 2 from Image processing and 2 from machine vision |

Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Written exercise | 2 | M | Tutorial Question on Image Processing set in the middle of the semester |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
Lectures provide the core material as well as guidance for further reading. Problem practice is integrated into lecture structure, examples are given in the use of the software tools.
The examination provides the opportunity for the students to demonstrate their understanding of the course material and their ability to apply critical thinking. The problem solving aspects of the assessment enable the student to demonstrate that they are able to apply this understanding and their analysis and synthesis skills to novel situations.
