Course detail
FEKT-MPAN-AB2Acad. year: 2026/2027
The course Advanced Methods in Image Processing (MPAN-AB2) is designed as a follow-up to Analysis of Biomedical Images (MPA-ABO) and focuses on advanced methods in image processing and computer vision. The course is delivered through block seminars and practical exercises in the form of hackathons, enabling students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world tasks.
Seminars provide the theoretical framework, motivation, and an overview of existing methods, while selected advanced techniques are explored in depth through student presentations, accompanied by instructor commentary. The practical exercises are project-oriented, carried out in teams, and each topic represents a challenge where students compete to solve problems efficiently and creatively.
Throughout the course, students are introduced to the following areas: advanced methods for image denoising, image restoration and inverse problem solving, keypoint detection and local feature analysis, stereo and multiview processing, advanced image registration methods, object tracking and motion analysis, and advanced image segmentation.

Entry knowledge
The following knowledge is required to enrol in this course:
The main prerequisite for this course is the successful completion of the preceding course, MPA-ABO (Analysis of Biomedical Images), as MPAN-AB2 builds directly upon the material covered in MPA-ABO.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The course is delivered in a block format over 7 weeks, consisting of 1 hour of mandatory seminar followed by 6 hours of compulsory hackathon-style exercises per week.
The requirements for successful completion of the course are defined by the annually updated Announcement issued by the course guarantor and include:

Aims
The aim of the course is to provide students with a solid theoretical foundation as well as practical experience in advanced image processing and computer vision methods. Students will develop the ability to implement, evaluate, and compare different approaches, gain experience in collaborative team projects, improve their presentation and communication skills, and apply the acquired knowledge to a variety of image data and real-world problem-solving scenarios.

Syllabus
Each lecture is delivered in the form of a seminar and precedes a practical hackathon on the same topic, providing the theoretical framework. Students are introduced to the motivation, an overview of existing methods, and the principles of fundamental approaches. Selected advanced methods are explored in depth through student presentations, followed by instructor commentary and the supplementation of key information necessary for understanding the material.- Advanced image denoising – overview of image noise, principles of variational and diffusion-based methods, the role of regularisation, and deep learning possibilities.- Image restoration and inverse problems – degradation models, inverse problems, regularisation principles, and Bayesian approaches.- Keypoint detection and local features – detection and description of keypoints, invariance, and robust matching.- Stereo and multiview processing – epipolar geometry, camera calibration principles, basics of disparity maps, and 3D reconstruction.- Advanced image registration – rigid and non-rigid registration methods, similarity metrics, and optimisation strategies.- Motion analysis and object tracking – principles of optical flow, object tracking, motion models, and handling of partial or complete occlusion.- Advanced image segmentation – energy-based and graph-based models, Markov random fields, and principles of multi-label and hybrid segmentation.
Každá přednáška je formou semináře a předchází praktickému hackathonu stejného tématu a poskytuje teoretický rámec. Studenti se seznámí s motivací, přehledem existujících metod a principy základních postupů. Vybrané pokročilé metody jsou probrány do hloubky prostřednictvím studentských prezentací, po kterých následuje komentář vyučujících a doplnění klíčových informací potřebných pro pochopení látky.
Exercise in computer lab
The practical exercises are organised in the form of a hackathon, with each topic representing a distinct challenge. All students work on the same assignment and aim to solve the given problem as efficiently and creatively as possible. The exercises are carried out in groups, fostering teamwork, discussion, and idea sharing, while providing the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained during the seminars in a practical setting.
Praktická cvičení jsou koncipována formou hackathonu, kde každé téma představuje samostatnou výzvu. Všichni studenti pracují se stejným zadáním a snaží se co nejefektivněji a nejkreativněji vyřešit zadaný problém. Cvičení probíhají ve skupinách, což podporuje týmovou spolupráci, diskusi a sdílení nápadů, a zároveň umožňuje prakticky aplikovat znalosti získané během seminářů.
Individual preparation for excercises
Students are expected to dedicate sufficient time to preparing a clear and detailed presentation on the given topic. Preparation includes independently studying the subject matter, reviewing relevant literature and resources, and consulting with the instructor as needed to fully understand the material and create a high-quality presentation. The presentation should be prepared in such a way and with such depth that it allows other students to easily orient themselves in the topic. The goal is for students to structure the presentation clearly, understand the details of the methods, and be able to discuss possible approaches and applications.
Studenti mají věnovat dostatek času přípravě přehledné a detailní prezentace k danému tématu. Příprava zahrnuje samostatné nastudování problematiky, rešerši relevantní literatury a odborných zdrojů a případné konzultace s vyučujícím, které jsou potřebné k pochopení látky a kvalitní prezentaci. Prezentace má být připravena v takové formě a s takovou hloubkou, aby umožnila ostatním studentům se v dané problematice snadno zorientovat. Cílem je, aby studenti dokázali prezentaci jasně strukturovat, porozuměli detailům metod a byli schopni diskutovat o možných přístupech a aplikacích.
