Learning outcomes
The course deals with the wavelet transform and its applications in image and signal processing. The WT can be considered as a generalization of the Fourier transform to the time/frequency (or time/scale) analysis domain. Accordingly, it allows to overcome some of the main limitations of the FT as the analysis of transient signals that can be characterized with precisely in both the time and the frequency spaces at the same time. Multiresolution analysis is particularly suitable for natural and biological signals, feature extraction for pattern recognition, denoising and image coding.
Laboratory
The course will be complemented by lab sessions aiming at acquiring the practical instruments that are needed in this framework as well as to solve some basic problems. This will be performed using the Matlab Wavelet toolbox.

Examination Methods
Theory
The exam consists of two parts.
The first part will concern the first part of the program (up to the 2D DWT included).
The second part can be one of the three following options:
a) Oral on the second part of the course
b) A seminar on as assigned topic
c) A project (only in case of diploma work)
Type of exam: oral or written, depending on the number of candidates.
Laboratory
An evaluation of the Lab activities will be performed during the classes. For those who don't take part to the lab sessions the evaluation will be performed during the exam.
