Image and Video Processing: From Mars to Hollywood with a Stop at the Hospital
In this course, you will learn the science behind how digital images and video are made, altered, stored, and used. We will look at the vast world of digital imaging, from how computers and digital cameras form images to how digital special effects are used in Hollywood movies to how the Mars Rover was able to send photographs across millions of miles of space.
The course starts by looking at how the human visual system works and then teaches you about the engineering, mathematics, and computer science that makes digital images work. You will learn the basic algorithms used for adjusting images, explore JPEG and MPEG standards for encoding and compressing video images, and go on to learn about image segmentation, noise removal and filtering. Finally, we will end with image processing techniques used in medicine.
This course consists of 7 basic modules and 2 bonus (non-graded) modules. There are optional MATLAB exercises; learners will have access to MATLAB Online for the course duration. Each module is independent, so you can follow your interests.

Materials and topics were good, but the course lacks in two things. They stress more on math and theory. I would suggest additional videos explaining the implementation in matlab would be helpful and would throw more insight to the maths. Second there is no programming assignments, so its a little easy kind of. If the instructor or the TA would help out in giving the assignments and implementation in matlab, then it will be one of the ever-lasting courses

As a beginner this is my first course in image and video processing. Prof Guillermo covered a vast amount of material with both fundamental and math perceptive. His teaching is clear and concise. I have absorbed lot of new information and techniques from this course. However the programming assignments could have been made compulsory and more elaborate so that the students can have hands on experience of the methods taught. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn image and video processing. Thanks.

I have to admit this is a very good course. The first 2 weeks were too dificult because the math that I don't use every day as a doctor. But with resilience it opens a new world that is fascinating. This course is the opportunity to take a look in a variaty of new concepts in image processing that pushes you to embrace a new carreer as a medical image expert. After thjs course I will go deeper in this field...

This fantastic course focuses on the technical and theoretical parts of computer vision. The instructor who presents lectures has a deep understanding and mathematical background in image processing. Without a doubt, when you build your deep learning models, you will hugely benefit from the image processing techniques taught in this course. I strongly recommend that anyone interested in using deep learning to handle image data sets should take this course before learning how to program your DNN models. Something this course can further improve is to introduce some similar packages to allow students to get familiar with different techniques in open-sourced language because practices from this course are given in MATLAB.

It should be more practical rather than college lectures. No doubt the course title is so much interesting but material is not up to mark. The syllabus is mostly based on the college level not the practical level. We think that we learn the techniques used in Hollywood rendering processes and more but no content available in this course.

There was more of maths, but it was really necessary to actually understand the magic under the hood! Prof. Guillermo is really awesome and teaches exceptionally well! My personal suggestion would to teach some hands on coding in this. But as a course, its very good!

I don't know if it's the accent of professor, the content is very hard to understand. Maybe I ought to study the 'signals and systems' first, and read the textbook 'digital image processing' carefully.

A great course that helped me dive into the field of Image and Video Processing. I don't know if the syllabus is comprehensive or not (especially because the course was recorded a couple of years back), but these materials were represented nicely, and quizzes are designed in the best way that you can assess your knowledge. I just saw in the comments that the course is mostly theoretical and doesn't contain enough programming stuff, which I do not agree with. Because there are some optional programming exercises each week that give you guidelines for doing some codes and they were enough for me. Thank you, Coursera and Prof. Sapiro.

This is an exciting course. It was inspiring to see a practical example of solving real world problem in each "chapter". I wish I was better at math, so I could gain more from it. Nevertheless, topics are self-contained and key concepts are well explained, so that students with basic prior knowledge (like me) can develop at least high-level understanding. However, it is not enough to do all optional programming tasks: they require doing some own research. I did not manage to complete them till the the end of this class, but I hope to do this later.

I have taken dozens of courses, both undergrad and grad level, and this course is definitely in the top 5. The passion of the professor, the information he presents (note: my background is not in image processing whatsoever), and the way he communicates the material is top notch. The level of learning grows significantly if someone has enough time to do the optional exercises and I highly recommend that people try at least some of them, even if they use existing tools in Python or MATLAB.

Outstanding, well-organized and masterfully presented by world-class Professor Guillermo Sapiro.
Professor Sapiro is a world-renowned expert who is student-centered and whose winning personality shines through in every lecture.
The selection of material from this vast and growing field is brilliant.
Hats off to Dr. Sapiro - he is a jewel in the crown of Duke University and to the academic community.

This Course is so good which taught me lots of basic concepts about the image and video processing. It covers almost all the basic techniques we may use in the image processing field. Besides the width of this course, the professor tries to illustrate everything in-depth with his really understandable narration. I had an enjoyable experience when I am taking this course.

It is not as difficult as you would assume before enrolling. There are 1 or 2 weeks with mathematics but they totally worth your effort. This is really a mind-blowing course where you can get a taste of image and video processing from basics to advanced. The professor is very passionate, introducing lots of fun and cool stuff to you.
