Academic Honesty
All parties involved in any kind of cheating
in any exam will get zero in that exam
Habitual cheaters will get zero in all
assignments/projects. This may lead to a
course failure
Cheating punishment may become more
strict
Guidelines
Read your email and messages on the course
yahoo group regularly
Start working on projects/assignments from first day.
Come prepared in the class
Read book (s)
Remain attentive during the class
Class Policies
Frequent quizzes will be taken during the semester.
Students are required to attend the classes regularly
and come prepared in the class room.
Class assignments are required to be submitted on or before
the due date and time. No marks will be given
for the late submissions.
Programming assignments should be well
documented.
It is highly recommended that you try to do the
assignments on your own. Some questions from the
assignments may be asked in the Exams
Class attendance policy of the University will be
followed for taking the final test.
What is an Image?
Animage may be defined as a two
dimensional function f(x,y) where x
and y are spatial coordinates and
amplitude of f at any pair of
coordinates (x,y) is called
the intensity or Graylevel of the
image at
that point.
Digital Image
When x,y and the amplitude values of
f are all finite, discrete quantities, we
call the image a Digital Image.
A digital Image is composed of a finite
number of elements each of which has
a particular location and value
These elements are referred to as
Picture Elements, Image Elements, Pels
or Pixels

a
room. These actions include entering,
using a computer terminal, opening a
cabinet, picking up a phone, etc.
