Course description
In recent years, graphs have emerged as a unified representation for image analysis and processing. Many powerful image processing methods have been formulated on pixel adjacency graphs, i.e., a graph whose vertex set is the set of image elements (pixels), and whose edge set is determined by an adjacency relation among the image elements. Due to its discrete nature and mathematical simplicity, this graph based image representation lends itself well to the development of efficient, and provably correct, methods for image processing. In this course, we will give an overview of recent developments in this field. Topics covered include graph-based methods for:
- Segmentation
- Filtering
- Classification and clustering
