Objectives: Doctoral researchers will learn how to take full advantage of the computational methods available to process, enhance and analyse their imaging and characterisation data. Use of computer vision and computer learning algorithms for image processing and analysis. First principles calculations as a tool for interpreting characterisation data. Principal component analysis for spectroscopic and multimodal data.

Target group: Course is mandatory for doctoral researchers selected to the I4WORLD programme and is available for all the doctoral researchers at the University of Oulu.

Course topics: Course includes lectures, demos and exercises on the following topics:

  • Computer vision and image analysis, Machine learning, Artificial intelligence
  • Environmental research: remote sensing, spectral remote sensing data, satellite imagery tools, multispectral UAV data
  • Materials research: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS), Spectroscopic Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM)
  • Biomedical research: Raman spectroscopic imaging, X-ray computed tomography methods, Raman spectrum analysis, Unenhanced computed tomography (uCT), Cone-Beam Computed Tomography

Mode of delivery: Lectures, demos, computer exercises and training through tests.
