Image Processing Module runs for 14 WeeksFrom 04 Feb to 24 May 2013
Module Aims The module aims to develop students that are capable of processing digital images appropriate for publication and cataloguing these images in a structured, professionally managed format. It also aims to demonstrate how to use image processing techniques effectively.
Learning Outcomes On successful completion of this module the student should be able to: • Apply complex image processing tools in the preparation of digital images for publication in a variety of formats. • Catalogue, archive and retrieve large numbers of digital image files independently using definitional data. • Demonstrate the ability to apply complex image processing tools within a strict ethical framework.
Delivery In each tutorial session we’ll look at a different aspect of image processing and the software tools available. You’ll work through a series of tutorials to learn to use these tools effectively and then be expected to apply them to your own images.
Delivery Week 1 – Image Formats & Quality Week 2 – Tone & Colour Correction Week 3 – Retouching & Correction Week 4 – Layers and Masking Week 5 – Special Effect Filters Week 6 – Image Management Week 7 – Experimental Techniques Week 8 – Ethical Considerations
Delivery Week 9 – Support Week 10 – Portfolio development Week 11 – Portfolio development Week 12 – Portfolio development Week 13 – Portfolio development Week 14 – Assignment Submission
Assignment Portfolio (100%) You will be required to draw up a portfolio demonstrating your understanding of image processing techniques. This should evidence how these techniques have been effectively applied to the Group Project assignment to professionally manage and produce digital images appropriately for publication.
Assignment • The portfolio should cover the following areas of image processing; • Cataloguing and indexing images • Image format and compression • Colour and tonal adjustment • Retouching and correction. • Effects and filters.
Assignment The portfolio should be a combination of text and supporting images, and should include research activities, examples of experimentation, methodology, and an evaluation of the techniques as applied to your own work. The portfolio should be at least the equivalent of 10 pages of well covered A4 pages, with at least 1000 words. The portfolio should be submitted in PDF format to the x-stream drop box by 24 May 2013.
