Module: ELABORAZIONE DATI BIOMEDICI
-------
To acquire basic knowledge on digital diagnostic images and to understand and learn how to code and apply the most applied algorithms used for image/volume visualization, segmentation, registration and classification.
Module: BIOIMMAGINI
-------
The course will introduce wavelets and multiresolution (time/scale, space/scale) signal and image analysis.
The wavelet transform can be considered as a generalization of the Fourier transform, allowing a simultaneous time (or space) and frequency localization of the signal features. This makes it a very powerful tool for image analysis, in particular feature extraction for segmentation, denoising and pattern recognition and image coding. In the course, particular emphasis will be given to the applications in the field of neuroimaging.
