Course content
- Basic algorithms in signal processing (1D and 2D), i.e: DFT, FFT, Chirp-Z, fast convolution, etc.;
- Images in spacial and frequency domain;
- statistical properties of images; color spaces;
- selected algorithms for feature extracting;
- least square estimation; random distributions; recursive estimation algorithms (i.e. Kalman);
- Project work with non-linear digital signal processing systems (e.g. beamforming system, non-linear system identification, ...)
Learning outcomes
- Students are able to apply fundamental techniques of digital signal processing in 1D and 2D in a target - specific way considering pros and cons of the individual techniques.
- They are able to condition sensor signals, to make statistical evaluations and interpret the results.
- They are able to handle basic methods and combinations of them to extract features of signals.
- They can estimate the reliability of the results.
Students have experience in scientific approach of problem solving.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, calculation exercises, computer exercises, project work.
Assessment methods and criteria
