Course content
  • Basic algorithms in signal processing (1D and 2D), i.e: DFT, FFT, Chirp-Z, fast convolution, etc.;
  • Images in spacial and frequency domain;
  • statistical properties of images; color spaces;
  • selected algorithms for feature extracting;
  • least square estimation; random distributions; recursive estimation algorithms (i.e. Kalman);
  • Project work with non-linear digital signal processing systems (e.g. beamforming system, non-linear system identification, ...)
Learning outcomes
  • Students are able to apply fundamental techniques of digital signal processing in 1D and 2D in a target - specific way considering pros and cons of the individual techniques.
  • They are able to condition sensor signals, to make statistical evaluations and interpret the results.
  • They are able to handle basic methods and combinations of them to extract features of signals.
  • They can estimate the reliability of the results.
    Students have experience in scientific approach of problem solving.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Lectures, calculation exercises, computer exercises, project work.
