• 12/18 Final exams may be picked up from my admin assistant Laurel (6400 pod EBU-1). The exam statistics are: max=61, min=25, mean=47, median=48.5, std.dev=8.9.
  

• 11/3 The last time I taught this class was in 2005, and here are the

  from 2005. Half of the final exam is on material from the last 4 weeks of class, which is not relevant to the midterm, however problems 4,5,7,8,10,11 all pertain to material covered in the first 6 weeks, so those problems could all be midterm problems. So in effect you can treat those problems as being a 2nd practice midterm.

• 10/31 Here is the pdf for Prof. Tom Nelson's guest lecture

  10/28 This web site has a fun example of image processing. Someone with an electric cat door designed a system to see if the kitty is bringing home a present (dead bird or mouse). If so, the door won't open.

• 10/24 After class today, someone expressed interest in the paper I showed in class where there was pseudo-coloring used to display cardiac action potential timing information. If you're interested, here it is:PDF

• 10/16 Here is the pdf file on contrast manipulation which I discussed in class.

• 9/28 A student has pointed out a link for a Matlab tutorial for the image processing toolbox:

• 9/27 Some interesting visual effects: Benussi Ring, Mach Bands, Simultaneous Contrast
