Course history

Introduction

The course describe the analysis and processing of signals in the frequency domain and analysis of systems for signal processing. Images are two-dimensional signals. The course also include the acquisition of image data, reconstruction of images and basic image processing of images for medical diagnostics.

Recommended preliminary courses

MEK1000 Mathematics 1000, ELPE1300 Electric circuits, ELTS2100 Electronics and ELI2300 Dynamic systems.

Required preliminary courses

The exam is graded by an internal and an external examiner.

A random selection consisting of at least 25% of the exam papers will be graded by both an internal and external examiner. This will inform the grading of the remaining exam papers.
