Description:
Learning objectives
The students
• name and describe aims and typical tasks in biomedical signal and image processing.
• name the relevant signal and imaging techniques in biomedicine and explain their essential characteristics.
• describe essential mathematical and physical contexts – on an appropriate level - which are the basis for the introduced techniques.
• explain concepts overarching the fields of signal and image processing, e.g. signal-to-noise ratio, sampling, quantization, system theory. explain the fundamentals of signal and image processing in time, frequency and time-frequency domain.
• explain typical use-cases, e.g. signal delineation and image segmentation, and explain encountered challenges explain fundamentals of multiscale signal and image analysis.
• apply each of the theoretical fundamentals in practical use cases with established software tools.

Course number:
M.Inf.1309
Participants:
Students in the master study program applied computer science. Students in the master study program applied data science. Elective module for students of physics and mathematics. Students from other faculties/ study programs are kindly asked to contact teaching coordination office: mi-lehre@med.uni-goettingen.de
Learning organisation:
The module is taught in English.
Performance accreditation:
Module Exam M.Inf.1309: Biomedical Signal and Image Processing. The exam type is a practical exam ("praktische Prüfung"). It consists of regular, weekly assignments (80%) and a final project and presentation of results (ca. 30 min.) (20%) in the seminar. By means of a practical examination, the students continuously work on programming assignments that form a larger seminar project. The practical examination can be conducted in groups. The regular assignment results have to be submitted, and presented in the seminar. Grading criteria will be presented to the students at the start of the module. Detailed requirements are incorporated in the assignments.
