COSC 7397
OVERVIEW
This course will focus on advanced techniques and computational methods for processing and analysis of biomedical
images. Advanced mathematical concepts will be covered with emphasis on algorithms that can be used to analyze an
image in terms of content and properties (e.g., what are their characteristics (size, shape, texture, color, motion) of
objects in the image) and provide syntactical interpretations. The link between theoretical fundamentals, advanced
algorithms, and real-life applications will be accomplished through hands-on team projects. Project emphasis will be
around collaborative learning and knowledge exchange leading to innovative solutions to real-life problems in current
medical practice.
