When it is necessary to cancel a class due to exceptional circumstances, the instructor will
make every effort to inform students via uwinnipeg.ca e-mail, as well as the Department
Assistant and Chair/Dean so that class cancellation forms can be posted outside classrooms.
Students are reminded that they have a responsibility to regularly check their uwinnipeg.ca e-
mail addresses to ensure timely receipt of correspondence from the university and/or their
course instructors.
Important Dates
1. First Class: January 7, 2020.
2. Reading Week (no classes): February 16 – 22, 2020.
3. Final Withdrawal Date without academic penalty: Monday, March 13, 2020. (A
minimum of 20% of the work on which the final grade is based will be evaluated
and available to all students before the voluntary withdrawal date.) Please note
that withdrawing before the VW date does not necessarily result in a fee refund.
4. April 20, 2020: Project Presentation Day
5. The dates the university is closed for holidays (i.e. no classes are held on these
dates):
- April 10, 2020
Students may choose not to attend classes or write examinations on holy days of their
religion, but they must notify their instructors at least two weeks in advance. Instructors
will then provide opportunity for students to make up work examinations without
penalty. A list of religious holidays can be found in the 2019-20 Undergraduate
Academic Calendar.
Course Objectives/Learning Outcomes
This course will provide students a detailed overview of Digital Image Processing and its
applications. Image processing has found applications in many areas from medical imaging
to computer graphics. This course covers the fundamental concepts of visual perception
and image acquisition, basic techniques of image manipulation, segmentation and coding,
and a preliminary understanding of Computer Vision. With successful completion of the
course, students will be able to perform image manipulations and analysis in many
different fields.
Prerequisite and Restriction Information

Consent of the Department Graduate Program Committee Chair or Instructor
This course assumes that students have strong programming skill in MATLAB, and a
working knowledge of Intermediate Calculus, Linear Algebra, basic estimation
techniques, and some statistical topics on the level of introductory courses in Statistics.
Evaluation Criteria
Assignments (42%)
 Number of Assignments: 3 (10%+10%+10%)
All assignments are to be completed individually. Late submitted work will
receive a 20% penalty daily.
 Students will be asked to read some material for selected problems, to write 5-7
pages typed review of the provided topic, to develop computer programs for
simulating results, and to give a 20-minute presentation on the topic. All
presentations will be given in Room 3C13 on February 25, 2020 (12%).
Final Exam (48%)
The final exam will be replaced by a Final Project.
The purpose of the project is to make students familiar with at least one of
applications of image processing. The project includes choosing a particular problem
in image processing (theory or application), searching and reading related papers on
this topic, implementing the solution, and writing a 15-20 pages report.
The project will be evaluated by its originality and novelty (20/48), technical
soundness and completeness of the solution (20/48), and readability and organization
of the typed report (8/48).
Presentation of the Final Project (10%)
The project will be represented in a 30-minute presentation on April 20, 2020.

Final Letter Grade Assignment
Historically, numerical percentages have been converted to letter grades using the
following scale. However, instructors can deviate from these values based on pedagogical
nuances of a particular class, and final grades are subject to approval by the Department
Graduate Studies Committee.
A+ 90+ - 100% B 70 - 74% F below 50%
A 85 - 90% C+ 65 - 69%
A- 80 - 84% C 60 - 64%
B+ 75 - 79% D 50 - 59%
Services for Students

Students with documented disabilities, temporary or chronic medical conditions,
requiring academic accommodations for tests/exams (e.g., private space) or during
lectures/laboratories (e.g., note-takers) are encouraged to contact Accessibility Services
(AS) at 786-9771 or email accessibilityservices@uwinnipeg.ca to discuss appropriate
options. All information about a student’s disability or medical condition remains
confidential. http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/accessibility.
All students, faculty and staff have the right to participate, learn and work in an
environment that is free of harassment and discrimination. The UW Respectful
Working and Learning Environment Policy may be found online at
www.uwinnipeg.ca/respect.
The University of Winnipeg promotes a scent-free environment. Please be respectful of
the needs of classmates and the instructor by avoiding the use of scented products while
attending lectures. Exposure to perfumes and other scented products (such as lotion) can
trigger serious health reactions in persons with asthma, allergies, migraines or chemical
sensitivities.

Misuse of Computer Facilities, Plagiarism, and Cheating

Academic dishonesty is a very serious offense and will be dealt in accordance with the
University’s discipline bylaw. Be sure that you have read and understood Regulations &
Policies #8, in the 2019-2020 UW Course Calendar available at:
http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/index/calendar-calendar.
Avoiding Academic Misconduct: Uploading essays and other assignments to essay

vendor or trader sites (file-sharing sites that are known providers of essays for use by
3
others who submit them to instructors as their own work) involves “aiding and abetting”
plagiarism. Students who do this can be charged with Academic Misconduct.
Avoiding Copyright Violation: Course materials are owned by the instructor who
developed them. Examples of such materials are course outlines, assignment descriptions,
lecture notes, test questions, and presentation slides. Students who upload these materials
to file-sharing sites, or in any other way share these materials with others outside the class
without prior permission of the instructor/presenter, are in violation of copyright law and
University policy. Students must also seek prior permission of the instructor /presenter
before photographing or recording slides, presentations, lectures, and notes on the board.
