Course Objective

The aim of this course is to give the basic concepts of the most commonly used methods and procedures for image processing, enhancement, restoration, analysis and classification of construction materials. The emphasis of the course is on practical results for classification and characterization of materials by on a well illuminated image and by processing (e.g., feature enhancement, color correction, sharpening, warping, etc.) and analysis.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To specify required details to take a well illuminated image
2   To create image processing steps
3   To define the basic concepts of the most commonly used methods and procedures for image processing
4   Analysis of the processed images
5   Classification of the analysis results

Mode of Delivery
