Project-Based Learning in Digital Image Processing Course

Abstract

The current paper presents project/problem-based learning (PBL), equipped with contemporary technologies as a strategy to revolutionize traditional teacher-centric classrooms to student centric systematic and innovative learning. Understanding the core concepts of image processing techniques and identifying its applicability in real-time scenarios requires in-depth visualization. Classroom lecturing is trivial for students to appreciate the significance of image processing systems. On learning through real-world projects, nearly every aspect of students' experience change. Learners pursue the subject knowledge on their own with their own meaning, under the guidance of an instructor. Instructors design the project as a framework for learning, subsequently students wind up using technology to access and analyze information in all dimensions possible. The article presented comprehends important aspects of PBL and illustrates the digital image processing sessions carried out using the proposed approach.
