Learning objectives
The objective of this module is to present the essential links of an imaging chain: from the fundamentals of image formation to the hardware technologies to acquire and then restore the image to humans, through the processing and analysis of images by a machine to extract information. It will provide the basic knowledge of each of the technological bricks of this chain and the fundamental elements concerning human and machine vision.
This knowledge can be used to understand, dimension, develop and integrate applications in the field of imaging.
Description of the programme
Whether in the industrial, medical or scientific fields or in our daily lives, images are at the heart of many systems and applications:
- Medical imaging, which plays a key role in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of human diseases
- Augmented reality and 3D display technologies that transform the way humans interact with their environment
- Autonomous systems based on the integration of artificial intelligence and data processing algorithms with vision systems
- Observation, risk prevention, and environmental monitoring sources from on-board (UAV) or satellite imagery
- Industrial vision for quality control, observation in hostile environments, robotics...
The course is structured in several parts:
- Physical basis of imaging
- Image sensors
- Visual perception
- Display systems
- Noise, estimation and learning,
-Image processing
The courses will be complemented by practical work, experimental on the Photonics platform, and digital on PC.
Generic central skills and knowledge targeted in the discipline
Engineers capable of working on complex systems based on imagery, whether it be to set up an imagery chain for an application, process digital images, or follow up on business or projects involving complex image and multimedia acquisition and processing systems.
