Course Overview
Learn how digital images and videos are produced, altered, processed, and used from the Image and Video Processing: From Mars to Hollywood with a Stop at the Hospital programme offered by the Duke University. From how computers and digital cameras shape pictures to the use of special effects in Hollywood movies to how the Mars Rover has been able to send photos through millions of miles of space, candidates will be introduced to the vast world of digital imaging.
The Image and Video Processing: From Mars to Hollywood with a Stop at the Hospital programme begins by looking at how the human visual system functions and then shows you how digital images work in mathematics, engineering and computer science. Candidates will learn the basic algorithms used for image adjustment and explore the standards of JPEG and MPEG for video image encoding and compression. They will learn about image segmentation, filtering and noise reduction. Finally, the programme will finish with methods of image processing used in the medical field.

Candidates will get a more in-depth understanding if they have mathematical knowledge. Hoping candidates are familiar with linear algebra, for example. Again, even without a clear mathematical context, candidates will understand some concepts. This would be considered an advanced undergraduate class by others.
Very much. Image processing is used in so many areas. Medical field, entertainment industry and many more.
Some programming exercises are suggested which are optional (not graded). The forums talk a lot about them, and that's fun.
No. The certificate is provided by Coursera itself and candidates will not get any transcript from the university.
The course is offered by the university but no credit is provided by them.
