The course aims to introduce digital image acquisition techniques and methods for image management and image processing for various applications in everyday life, in industry and in biomedicine. The main topics are image acquisition techniques (digital photography, cameras and illumination units for visible and invisible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, microscopy, radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonic imaging, advanced and emerging imaging techniques), methods for image restoration, calibration, processing, analysis, integration, measuring and understanding of image content (with the emphasis on robustness, reliability, stability and applicability in real-time), and design, integration and application of imaging technologies and computer and machine vision systems (in everyday life, in industry and in biomedicine - for the extraction of multidimensional information about the inspected space, objects and subjects).
