Course Description
  1. Basic principles of classic classification theory (Bayes). Probability ratio as criterion in population distinction. Use of the theory in standard (Gaussian) deviate populations.
  2. Mahalanobis Distance: Separation of the feature space according to the population statistics and the correlation of the features.
  3. Correlation of population features: Degree of correlation. Feature quality. Dimensionality of a classification problem. Dimensionality reduction and important dimensions.
  4. Artificial Neural Networks: Problems that they can solve. Neural networks simple structures.
  5. Parameters Estimation. Calculation of the distribution of dependent random variables:
  6. Mathematical Morphology
  7. Signal detection theory: Basic concepts. Neyman-Pearson criterion. Constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detector.
  8. Information synthesis, into simple data, into features and into decisions.
  9. Remote sensing
  10. Examples of remoting-sensing information synthesis.
  11. Decision synthesis.
  12. Oversampling – Noise shaping – ΣΔ coders
