Aims

The main aim of the object Fundamentals of image processing is to acquaint students with fundamental laws of physics and physical chemistry of simple optical devices employed to record, process and represent optical information. Further, to orient students to modern (high-tech) optical and opto-electronic devices exploiting informational technologies. Students will be also familiarized with software employed to process optical information.
