Brief Description: A graduate-level lecture course on theory and tools for representing, manipulating and analyzing visual images. Topics to include: imaging and optics, estimation and representation of position, alignment and displacement estimation, estimation and representation of local orientation, multi-scale image decompositions, statistical image modeling and its use in compression, estimation, enhancement and synthesis. Grades are based on homework, which relies on matlab programming.
