Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Signals with temporal or spatial structure are ubiquitous. Whether they are 1D signals, as in audio or time-dependent measurement/sensors, whether these are 2D photographs and LIDAR images or whether they are 3D medical volumes, climate models, or computational fluid studies; these signals are everywhere. In this course, we study the mathematical foundations of signal processing and learn how to implement and apply commonly used algorithms in image analysis. Topics we cover include linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, convolution, the Fourier transform and its extensions, sampling and filtering of signals, spectral analysis, information theoretic coding and wavelet analysis.

Assessment and permitted materials

* Two feedback sheets: 4%
* Midterm programming exam: 30%
* Final: 66%

In addition, you can earn up to 10% of bonus points by answering questions on Moodle about the pre-recorded videos. These bonus points count towards the overall points independently of the points you achieve on the assignments and the exams, i.e., they can help you pass the course.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Prerequisites: StEOP, PR2, MG2, THI, MOD, ADS
recommended prerequesites: NUM

The grading scale for the course will be:
1: at least 87.5%
2: at least 75.0%
3: at least 62.5%
4: at least 50.0%

In each exam, a minimum of 10% of the maximum reachable points is required to pass the course.

Examination topics

The major goals of this course include:
* understanding the mathematical foundations of signal processing
* being able to implement commonly used signal processing algorithms in Python
* applying signal processing algorithms to time-series and image analysis
