Grades have only improved in some cases, noone should have a worse grade than before. I apologise for any confusion caused by this. I assume it was a user error on my part, dealing with the CMS grading system for the first time. There was an issue with the grading scheme not being updated correctly when the mails were sent out. The points and passing status were correct, however. |

To all of you who I don't see there I wish all the best for the new year. |

Image Acquisition Methods
Description
For basic information at a glance consult our welcome flyer.
Motivation: The course is designed as a supplement for image processing lectures, to be attended before, after or parallel to them. In order to choose the right image processing methods for a given image, it is important to know what the image data represents and what specific properties it possesses.
Teaching Goals: Therefore, in this lecture, participants learn:
- what digital images are,
- how they are acquired,
- what they encode and what they mean,
- which limitations are introduced by image acquisition.
Contents: A broad variety of image acquisition methods is described, including imaging by virtually all sorts of electromagnetic waves, acoustic imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and more. While medical imaging methods play an important role, the overview is not limited to them.
Hybrid Lectures: Participate in person or on MS Teams. Recordings will be made available.
Tue 16:15-18:00, E1.3, HS001
First lecture: 31.10.2023
Entrance Requirements
Basic mathematics courses are recommended.
Basic knowledge in physics is helpful, but the lecture is designed to be self-sufficient in this regard.
Tutorials
Assignments are designed for group work. You are encouraged to connect with your fellow students and solve the problems together. The lecturer will be available to assist you and check your solutions. For all assignments, a written solution is also offered online.
If you have questions concerning the tutorials, please do not hesitate to contact Pascal Peter.
Assessments / Exams
There will be two closed book written exams:
The first written exam will take place on 15.02.2024 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm in Building E2.2, Günter Hotz Lecture Theatre.
The second written exam will take place on 03.04.2024 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm in Building E2.2, Günter Hotz Lecture Theatre.
You can find the detailed rules for our exams in the self test assignment in the Teams file repository.
You can participate in both exams, and the better grades counts. Please remember that you have to register online for the exam in the HISPOS system of the Saarland University.
If you cannot attend the exam, contact Pascal Peter as early as possible. In case you have proof that you cannot take part for medical reasons or you have another exam on the same day, we can offer you an oral exam as a replacement. Note that we need written proof (e.g. a certificate from a physician/Krankenschein) for the exact date of the exam.
Lecture notes / Assignments
Lecture content in form slides and assignments are available for download online. Access will be granted after registration. In addition, we will provide pre-recoreded lecture videos. Note that the initial registration requires manual confirmation and can thus be delayed a bit.
The assignments and the source code needed for the programming assignments will be provided here during the semester.
