02503 Advanced Image Analysis

 

This is the course homepage for 02503 advanced image analysis running at IMM, DTU every spring semester (entry in DTU course catalogue). In general the course runs on Wednesdays, starting at 9 o’clock with lectures (ending before lunch) followed by exercises. At present the responsible teacher is Henrik Aanæs, and Jacob Lercke Skytte is the (teaching Assitant)TA this spring of 2011.

 

The course is a 10 point course with a graded on the 7 point scale. The course runs once a week for 13 weeks. Eleven of these times have lectures in the morning   ( starting at 9 O’clock) and followed by exercises, the last two times consists only of exercises, aimed at illustrating the systems approach to image analysis and at exploring the interlink between the different subjects covered. Note that 10 points correspond to ca. 18 hours of work pr. week for the average student, much of this time is expected to be used on solving the exercises, also outside the the schedualed time slot where the TA will be present.

 

Lectures will take place in room 033 of building 322 from 9.00. The exercises will take place in databar 113 off building 305.

 

Course Material

The course material consists of the notes, book chapters and articles listed in the overview below and/or on CampusNet. Electronic material is obtained by a click of the mouse. Otherwise you will get photocopies at the lecture at least one week in advance. Clicking the lecture title sometimes brings you to the pdf files of the lecture slides, also try CampusNet.

 

Completing the Course

The exam is oral and based on the curriculum (most of the course material) and the completed exercises. Technically the exercises are not mandatory, i.e. it will not be checked if you have completed them, you will just be held accountable for the results you have obtained at the oral exam. The first exercise “4 small exercises” is not part of the curriculum.

 

The students , however, have the offer of having reports/journals of your exercises being corrected, if you hand them in no later than two weeks after the exercise has been posed. Some times that deadline is extended, until enough reports have been handed in, but this is not a guarantee.

 

The oral exam proceeds by randomly choosing one of the exercises, which the proceeding questioning will take its outset in, but not be limited to. The student is not expected to give a presentation, just be able to account for the curriculum and the completed exercises. The duration of a questioning will be approximately 20 minutes.
