Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students possess the basic knowledge on various methods used in the field of Applied Physics, with the possibility of practising with some of the techniques in laboratory sessions. In particular, students are able to: - design and characterize an acquisition system for digital images; - use digital image processing software; - characterize and optimize the components of a detection system through Monte Carlo simulation techniques; - design and realize procedures for evaluating and improving the image quality of digital detectors.
Course contents
- Image acquisition and digital image processing: acquisition of digital images, brief theoretical introduction and experimental acquisition with digital cameras. Pre-processing and calibration techniques. Digital image processing: point, local, and geometric operations. Analysis in spatial and frequency domains.
- Lab experience on image acquisition and processing.
- Monte Carlo simulations: theoretical overview and practical example for modeling a detection system.
