II. General Syllabus
Instructor(s) CHERN, Jann-Long/ 陳建隆
Schedule

This is a course for dealing with problems of image inpainting and image segmentation. Some classical methods and the related mathematical models will be introduced in this course.

It is expected to set up a one-year special course on image processing and analysis for students in the Department of Mathematics. We plan to propose and understand the topics of image processing from the perspective of building models, and provide a cross-domain course to expose students to cross-domain application knowledge. There are many important problems and skills in the field of image processing, such as denoising, deblurring, image enhancement, and image cutting. At the beginning of the course, students will learn the basic knowledges of image processing and the mathematical theory behind them. After completing the basic imaging skills, various image processing problems and topics will be introduced. Students will report in groups the related algorithms and computer programs for each selected topic. Through this learning mode, students can also use their understanding contents of image processing to apply mathematical skills for solving topic problems. Some basic knowledges of calculus and matrix calculations will be used in this course. 

The followings are the plan of studing schedule:

1. Geometry of Curves and Surfaces

2. Deterministic Image Models

3. Topic I: Algorithm and Implementation

4. Interpolation Schemes for Image Inpainting

5. Partial Differential Equation Inpainting Method 

6. Topic II: Algorithm and Implementation

7. Active Contours for Image Segmentation

8. Students' Midterm Reports

9. Functions with Bounded Variations

10. Variational Methods for Image Inpainting

11. Topic III: Algorithm and Implementation

12. Variational Methods for Image Segmentation

13. Topic IV: Algorithm and Implementation

14.     Students' Final Reports
