Course Goals/Objectives
By the end of this quarter, you will be familiar with:
Prerequisites
Course Format
The course consists of two lectures a week plus lab assignments. Attendance of neither the lectures nor the labs is strictly mandatory, but you are responsible for all materials, announcements, assignments, etc. covered in either the lecture or assignments. If you miss a class, consult a classmate for any missed materials.
The purpose of the class is for everyone to understand the issues involved
in digital image processing. To this end, if you don't understand
something during class, please ask. If you are confused, it is likely that
a few of your classmates are as well. Also, listen to others' questions.
Many times you'll think you understand a concept until you hear someone
else's question about it. Dialogue is the best way to learn things, so
don't be afraid to speak up.
Office Hours
Office hours are as listed above or by appointment. If you are
unable to come to the posted office hours, contact me and we can arrange
to meet. There is no reason why anyone should be unable to see me if they
need to.
Other Resources
The class web page is maintained at http://imaging.eng.uci.edu/~jmeyer/COURSES/EECS207A/.
It will keep information, assignments, announcements, etc. There is also
a class mailing list. Make sure your email address is registered with the UCI registration system.
Then you will be automatically on the mailing list.
Please check the web page and read your email. I will try to make any
announcements in both places as well as in class, but you don't want to
miss anything.
Late Policy
Late labs/projects will be deducted
10% each day for submission up to ten days past the due date. To obtain credit, a good faith
effort must be put forth. I will not accept labs/projects after that 10 days period.
I will try very hard to avoid deadline extensions out of fairness to those
who get assignments done on time, except if circumstances make the deadline unreasonable
(like, say, the file server goes down for two
days).
Fine Print
Partnerships On some of the assignments you will be working with partners. Collaboration tends to help with figuring out difficult concepts and generally makes the whole process more pleasant. A word of caution, though: While it is tempting to just divide up the work, be sure each partner understands the whole project. Concepts learned on the assignments will show up on exam. Even if your partner bails you out of a tight spot, be sure you understand the work or it will come back to haunt you. Be absolutely certain that both partners' names appear on all assignments. Credit will be given only to students whose names appear on the assignment, i.e. in the first comment line of your program. Instructions for submitting reports will be provided on the class web page.
Exams Exams will emphasize insight and problem solving ability rather than memorization. Exams will be closed notes, closed book, and no laptops or calculators.
Missed Exams Makeup exams will only be given for the gravest of reasons. If you must miss an exam due to extreme illness, etc., contact the instructor (email is fine) or leave a message with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science office (949-824-6012) before the exam. Be sure to leave both the reasons for missing the exam and how to reach you.
Lab Projects For some lab projects, you will submit a project report, i.e., a short documentation of your experiments and your findings. In general, 2-5 pages should be sufficient.
It should essentially follow the following structure:
The documentation will help to repeat and verify the experiment later under similar conditions. Therefore, it is essential that you describe all things that you setup or change during the experiment, and everything that you notice or observe. The documentation is due when the project is due.
Regrades All regrades must be submitted within one week of the time that they are posted. The same is true for miss-recorded grades. They must be reported within a week of their posting. Please check your midterm grades on the web to verify them with your own records.
Add/drop Policy A copy of the add/drop policy is available at the main office or at http://www.reg.uci.edu/registrar/soc/adcpp.html.
Cheating Please do not. I am not obsessed with looking for cheating, but if I see something suspicious, I will refer it to Student Judicial Affairs. This is more work for me, and is embarrassing for everyone. Again, please don't; this has been a problem in the past. If the rules are unclear or you are unsure of how they apply, ask the instructor beforehand. The main office has copies of the department's policy on academic honesty. The department's policy follows the general policies on academic misconduct as outlined in the UCI Academic Senate Policies on Academic Dishonesty.
Security The campus security policy is available online at http://www.police.uci.edu/jcadis.pdf.
File SecurityOn Unix systems, please be advised to change the permissions of all your files to 700 (owner access only) so that nobody else can access or steal them. The same effect can be accomplished by adding the line "umask 077" to the end of your ~/.cshrc file. On Windows systems, make sure that user permission restrict others from accessing your files. On open Windows systems without user management, remove your files from the harddrive after completing your experiments and empty the trash bin. If you want to preserve your files, you can copy them onto a floppy disk or a CD-R/CD-RW.
DisabilityAny student who feels he or she may need an accomodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me privately to discuss her or his specific needs. Also contact the Disability Services Center at (949) 824-7494 as soon as possible to better ensure that such accomodations are implemented in a timely fashion.
Feedback If you like, dislike, or don't understand something I'm doing with the course, please stop by my office hours, send me email, or paste together a note from newspaper clippings and drop it in my mailbox. I won't always change things, but I will always explain why I'm doing them the way I am.

Individuals are prohibited from being paid for taking, selling, or otherwise transferring for value, personal class notes made during this course to any entity without the express written permission of the lecturer.
