| BIOE 681 | Digital Image Processing | 3 | College of Eng & Comp Sciences |
|
Digital image processing is an active area of work in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science disciplines and serves as the starting point for computer vision and deep learning in the industry. It has widespread applications in biological and medical sciences as well. Currently, the EENG/CS curriculum does not offer any course to address this need for the interested students. The proposed course content has been offered as a special topics course in Spring 2020 and Spring 2021, and has received positive feedback from the students. If assigned a separate course number, it can attract more interest from the students. Also, given the contents, it can be considered as a gateway course for students who are participating in the 4+1 masters program. Prerequisite Course(s): Prerequisites: BIOE 651 |
