Course Summary

Fundamental image processing theories and algorithms. Signal representation using transforms, wavelets and frames is overviewed. Signal reconstruction methods using total variation, sparse coding and low-rank prior, based on convex optimization, are discussed. Applications include image compression, restoration and enhancement. Prior background in digital signal processing (EECS 4452 or equivalent) and numerical linear algebra is strongly recommended.
