An application oriented short-course in image recognition

An experimental course on Digital Image Processing and Recognition, together with its associated implementation, are described. The program is a user-friendly interface running under Matlab 4.0, which allows easy-control over the main stages of any optical recognition system. It is used as an aid to illustrate the development of a complete image recognition application in a short-course which is mainly supported by laboratory experiments. The course has been specifically oriented to non-initiated students.
