image processing projects

A note on programming: The principal objectives of the following projects are (1) to teach the student how to manipulate images, and (2) to help in developing a sense of how image processing solutions are prototyped in software. To this end, the programming environment needed to implement these projects can consist of a truly general-purpose environment (e.g., a C++ approach) to an environment in which the projects can be implemented as a combination of existing functions with the capability to write code that can expand the capabilities of those functions. Perhaps the best exponent of that approach is MATLAB's Image Processing Toolbox (IPT). We prefer an approach that uses such a combination of capabilities because it is more representative of what the student is likely to find in practice after graduation. The Software section of this web site contains resources and links to resources that can be helpful in developing a programming environment for the projects.
