WORKSHOP ON MATLAB AND SIGNAL PROCESSING APPLICATIONS

The Electrical and Electronics Section of the Engineering Department, together with the Engineering Society, scheduled a three-day workshop titled, “Workshop on MATLAB and Signal Processing Applications”, on 16, 23, and 30 October 2018, three consecutive Tuesdays, from 12 noon to 2pm at the AutoCAD Laboratory (B117).

The workshop was organised based on the positive feedback and demand from the students to have a similar workshop, as the topics discussed would help them in carrying out their projects with ease.

The main objectives of the course were to:

• provide a mathematical framework for describing and analysing signals, images and videos as 2-D and 3-D signals in the spatial, spatio-temporal, and frequency domains, 

• understand the use of MATLAB and Signal/Image Processing Toolbox through examples and exercises, and

• provide hands-on experience with the software to perform exercises on various applications.

The following aspects were covered in the three-day workshop:

• Familiarisation with Image Processing Concepts

• Using MATLAB IP toolbox

• Importing, exporting, analysing and enhancing images

• Noise Removal, Deblurring and Histogram Equalization

• Error Trouble shooting and Debugging Techniques

Dr Rehna Veerankutty served as the resource person. Teaching and learning methods included lecture sessions, demonstrations, practical sessions, and exercises/assignments.

Twenty-two (22) students who have successfully carried out the workshop tasks and generated working outputs were awarded with a certificate of participation.
