Themes for improved teaching of image computation

Abstract

This paper reports on recommendations and results from a panel discussion and a workshop devoted to the theme of education in areas that involve image computation. One specific set of contributions is in the area of integrating image computation into required core courses such as Introduction to Computing and Data Structures. Another area of specific contributions is the development of undergraduate elective courses on topics such as robotics and medical image analysis. A third area of contributions is the improvement of traditional image processing and computer vision courses.
