02507 Image Analysis and Optimization
Danish title: Kursusarbejde i billedanalyse og optimering
Language:  English    ECTS-creditpoints:  5   
Type:  , open university
Class schedule:   januar
Exam schedule:   No exam
Recommended semester:  4th -7th semester
Scope and form:  Project work in groups of 2 persons
Evaluation:  Approval of coursework/reports
Examination:  Pass/fail
Previous course:  04401
Prerequisites:  Knowledge of introductory image analysis and numerical methods for optimization.
Participant limitation:  Max. 20
Aim:  To give the students knowledge of some problems from image analysis, setting up mathematical (statistical) models, and the use of optimization algorithms to get robust estimates of the parameters in the models.
Contents:  After an introduction on the first day, the students work in groups of 2-4 persons. Each group has its own problem (which the members help to choose and define). The problems are taken from current research at IMM, e.g.
1. Feature matching: Find corresponding 'features' in two images and find the best match, taking into account the camera optics. Occurs e.g. in stereo vision.
2. Elektrophooresis Gel Matching (used to analyse proteins): Find an optimal distortion of the image of a gel to give a best match with another. This problem has similarities with 1.
3. Deformable models: Use prior assumptions and observations to find an optimal segmentation. Used to find the fat and lean parts in images of meat.
