Expected Learning Outcomes

General learning objectives in terms of expected learning outcomes.

Knowledge and understanding: The purpose of the course is to acquire knowledge that will enable the student to understand the theoretical and physical mechanisms underlying the human visual system, the formation and processing of digital images, of the improvement of the visual quality of digital images. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: the student will acquire the skills needed to acquire, edit, compress, and save a digital image.
Making judgments: Through examples in the classroom, the student will be put into the condition of understanding whether the solutions offered by him meet a certain degree of quality.
Communication skills: The student will acquire the necessary communication skills and technical language skills in the multimedia field.
Learning Skills: The aim of the course is to provide the student with the necessary theoretical and practical methodologies to deal with and solve new problems that arise during a work activity. To this end, several topics will be addressed in lesson by involving the student in the search for possible solutions to real problems.

Learning Assessment

Learning Assessment Procedures

The examination is held in italian language according the rules described in the italian version of this section.

Erasmus students and other non-italian speakers may ask to take an oral exam.

For the assignment of grades for individual assessments, the following criteria are typically followed:

Fail: The student has not acquired the basic concepts and is unable to complete the exercises.

18-23: The student demonstrates a minimal mastery of the fundamental concepts; their ability to present and connect content is modest, and they can solve simple exercises.

24-27: The student shows a good grasp of the course content; their ability to present and connect the content is good, and they solve exercises with few errors.

28-30 with honors: The student has acquired all course content and can present them comprehensively with a critical perspective; they solve exercises completely and without errors

Examples of frequently asked questions and / or exercises

  1. Is the "power" operator punctual, local, or global? What does this mean? Typically, does this operator brighten or darken the image? Apply the power ^2 operator to the matrix provided below. Finally, linearly normalize the resulting matrix between 0 and 255.
