UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

The Schools of Nursing and Pharmacy operate on both the Oxford and Jackson campuses. The Schools of Dentistry, Health Related Professionals and Medicine, and the Health Sciences Graduate School, are based in Jackson only. (Additional healthcare programs are available through the School of Applied Sciences on the Oxford campus.) Other than these exceptions, the schools above are on the Oxford campus.

Engs 624: Introduction to Digital Image Processing

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of digital image processing applied to remotely sensed data. The course begins with a review of the remote sensing process. Methods of obtaining digital remotely sensed data are then reviewed including digital systems (e.g., scanners, pushbroom sensors) and the process of hardcopy digitzation. Fundamental statistical analysis techniques are then reviewed. Typical digital image processing system characteristics are described with reference to the major software providers. Methods of radiometric correction are introduced including those based on radiative transfer modeling and image-to-image normalization. Image-to- image and image-to-map geometric correction algorithms are described. Image enhancement algorithms that can be used to enhance subtle characteristics for improved visual examination are discussed. Digital methods of extracting information from remotely sensed data are summarized including the key elements of supervised and unsupervised classification and accuracy assessment. The final module describes the logic and algorithms used to perform digital change detection.
