- BC: Foundations of Computational Imaging: A Model-Based Approach, C. A. Bouman (found here)
- LN: Lecture notes Statistics of Imaging, M. Rudemo (found here)
Other relevant literature (which might be used in the course):
- HS: Handbook of spatial statistics, Gelfand, Diggle, Guttorp & Fuentes (found here)
- EL: The Elements of Statistical Learning, Hastie, Tibshirani & Friedman (found here)
- GH: Image Analysis for the Biological Sciences, Glasbey & Horgan (found here)
Note that all literature is freely available via the Chalmers library for registered students.
The lectures will be given in Euler.
Projects and examination
The deadlines for the projects can be found at the end of this page under Course summary. The reports should be uploaded in Canvas/Assignments.
In addition to the projects, there will be a final exam on June 3 2026, 14:00-18:00.
Grade 3/G: 20 p, grade 4: 30 p , grade 5: 40 p, grade VG: 37.5 p, max: 50 p
