KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: The student acquires knowledge related to the possibility to use an image analysis platform to monitor the dynamics of a given phenomenon and to extract quantitative information from digital images such as object localization and tracking in digital videos.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: The student acquires the capability to implement the algorithms in Matlab through dedicated lessons during the course with the aim of being able to autonomously develop new codes for the solution of specific problems in different application fields.

MAKING JUDGEMENTS: :
The student must be able to integrate the basic knowledge provided with those deriving from the other courses such as probability, signal theory, and pattern recognition. some fundamentals of measurement systems as well as basic metrological definitions will be provided in support of background knowledge.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
The student solves a written test and develops a project in Matlab that illustrates during the oral exam. The project can be done in a group to demonstrate working group capabilities.

LEARNING SKILLS:
Students will be able to read and understand scientific papers and books in English and also to deepen some topics. In some cases, students will develop also experimental tests with time-lapse microscopy acquisition in the department laboratory.

 

SYLLABUS:

Fundamentals of metrology. Basic definitions: resolution, accuracy, precision, reproducibility, and their impact over an image based measurement system. Image processing introduction. Image representation. Spatial and pixel resolution. Image restoration. Deconvolution. Deblurring. Image quality assessment. Image enhancement. Image filtering for smoothing and sharpening.

Course Description: VLSI Systems Design
This course provides the methodological and practical skills required for the design of complex digital systems, ranging from theoretical foundations to implementation on programmable logic devices. The program is structured into two integrated modules.

Module 1: Digital Systems and Architectures (7 ECTS)

This module introduces the principles of digital electronics and circuit synthesis methodologies.
Foundations of Digital Electronics: Course introduction; Boolean algebra and expression minimization techniques (SOP canonical forms and Karnaugh maps).
Combinational Logic Circuits: Analysis and design of standard functional blocks (adders, subtractors, comparators, encoders/decoders, multiplexers/demultiplexers, shifters, and multipliers).
Sequential Logic and Digital Systems: Study of memory elements (latches, flip-flops) and design of registers, counters, and Finite State Machines (FSMs). Design considerations and integration of building blocks for digital systems.
Programmable Logic Devices: Overview and architecture of programmable devices (PROM, PLA, PAL, CPLD, and FPGA).

Module 2: VHDL Design and Simulation (2 ECTS)

This module provides the practical tools for hardware description and verification.
VHDL Language: Introduction to the fundamental constructs of the language for digital system modeling.
Simulation and Design: Methodologies for the design and functional verification of digital systems through simulation tools.
Final Project: Development of a digital design project to be presented during the final examination.
