Contents

From [MAT-65-11-K-7] Methods of Convex Analysis in Image Processing:
  • motivation: basic problems of image processing (image restoration: denoising, removal of blur, inpainting; segmentation),
  • convex sets (basic concepts, convex cone, projection and separation theorems),
  • convex functions (basic concepts, continuity of convex functions, convex optimization problems),
  • subgradients (basic concepts, subdifferential calculus, set-valued mappings),
  • duality (Legendre-Fenchel conjugate, Lagrange functions, saddle point problems),
  • numerical optimization methods with application to image processing problems.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students know the basic terms and structures of Convex Analysis. They are familiar with numerical algorithms and can apply them to various problems of digital image processing. They understand the mathematical background required for the algorithms and can critically assess the possibilities and limitations of the use of the algorithms. They understand the proofs presented in the lecture and are able to reproduce and explain them. In particular, they can critically assess, what conditions are necessary for the validity of the statements.

By completing the given exercises, the students have developed a skilled, precise and independent handling of the terms, propositions and methods of the lecture. Moreover, they have gone through different implementations of the algorithms for applications in image processing.
