Summary
In the course, the students are acquainted with the fundamentals of digital image processing, with the methods that are used for attacking the image data, and with the methods of detecting such unauthorised attacks. Furthermore, the possibilities are discussed how image analysis can be used in safety applications and in biometric identification.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The students completing the course will be able to:
- understand the principles of capturing, compression and transmission of images and video,
- understand the essence of digital image editing, and will be able to create their own applications,
- understand the methods of image authentication,
- understand the methods of detecting unwanted image manipulation, and will be able to create their own applications,
- understand the methods of transmitting messages in images and the possibilities of their detection,
- understand the basic principles of forensic methods in image processing,
- get acquainted with the possibilities of using image analysis in security applications.
