• Make use of the photographic and laboratory facilities with a clear and measured understanding of health and safety procedures. Key Transferable Skills • Search libraries, databases and the World-Wide Web. • Communicate effectively in both verbal and written form. • Work in a group and plan simple projects. • Use image processing software. • Use IT skills effectively. • Demonstrate enhanced numeracy skills. 3.2 Year Two Year two aims to expand on the knowledge and understanding gained in year one, including more advanced theory and practice in photographic science, an introduction to fundamental colour science, the development of a more advanced understanding of digital images and digital technologies, the development of advanced practical skills in photography, and an introduction to career management skills. In addition to these core areas, students may take Option modules in Imaging Arts, Maths, MATLAB programming and more advanced photographic practice. Year Two Learning Outcomes At the end of Year Two, it is expected that students will be able to: Knowledge and Understanding • Demonstrate knowledge and theoretical understanding of the subject areas detailed above. • Describe the principles of light production and detection and summarise some of the advanced aspects of the physics of image formation in digital and photographic systems. • Describe the role of Fourier theory in linear image formation. • Understand the basic relationships between image properties and the physical processes producing the image. • Employ the basic methods of geometrical constructs and ray tracing in studying image formation in optical systems. • Understand the basic principles of calculus as a powerful analytical tool. • Demonstrate a theoretical and practical understanding of colour photography and printing. • Demonstrate an understanding of the practical, social and economic factors entailed in the production of a commercial brief. • Understand the basic principles of computer programming. Cognitive and Intellectual Skills • Optimise the acquisition, storage and output of digital imagery based on acquired knowledge of the underlying fundamental processes of digital systems. • Implement the main Fourier–based methods of image analysis. • Relate aspects of image quality to measurable properties and measure simple aspects of objective image quality. • Devise and carry out appropriate experiments to compare the imaging performance of different systems. • Recognise and analyse criteria and specifications appropriate to specific problems, and plan strategies for their solution • Handle the essential mathematical tools necessary for the analysis of the imaging chain as a communications channel. • Synthesize relevant theoretical and practical knowledge. • Discuss work and respond to criticism in an informed way.

• Describe informatively the fundamental mechanisms of colour reproduction systems. • Evaluate and use analytical developments in colour science. Practical Skills • Demonstrate the ability to produce creative imagery that satisfies a commercial brief or audience. • Demonstrate skills in the use of colour materials and the production of colour prints. • Interpret data derived from laboratory observations and measurements in terms of their significance and the theory underlying them. • Develop, promote and apply safe systems of work, including the safe handling of photochemical materials. • Write simple computer programs in MATLAB language. Transferable Skills • Undertake extensive research for the production of dissertations and practical projects. • Communicate effectively with industry clients. • Identify and evaluate appropriate strategies for career success and progression in a chosen field. • Develop self-awareness in the context of career decision making, knowledge of career opportunities that are available to them and the skills to make focused applications • Have the ability to communicate in and understand ideas expressed with a general purpose portable programming language as use to implement image based operations. 3.3 Year Three Year three modules are designed to develop students’ knowledge and understanding in more advanced areas of imaging and photographic science relevant to their chosen career path. A key aspect of all the modules offered at this level is the aim of encouraging the students to structure their own learning and develop a more autonomous and independent form of working. A core element of the third year is a project worth 45 credits, which may be in any area related to imaging systems, but must contain a high technical content. Supporting this is a project planning module, aimed at equipping students with the skills to develop and manage their own project. Year Three Learning Outcomes At the end of Year Three, (depending on chosen Option subjects) it is expected that students will be able to: Knowledge and Understanding Demonstrate advanced knowledge in key specialisms in photographic science and / or practical photography, computer graphics and applied imaging, such as: • Demonstrate knowledge of micro-image evaluation techniques including the modulation transfer function (MTF), the autocorrelation function, power spectrum of image noise. • Demonstrate a higher level understanding of digital image processing and manipulation techniques and their application. • Understand the main applications and classes of image processing techniques and their advantages and limitations. • Understand the principles of advanced colour science and analysis. • Be familiar with methods of image enhancement and restoration in both real and Fourier spaces. • Demonstrate advanced knowledge in computer graphics or visualisation. • Understand the principles of a variety of image-related business practices. • Understand the principles of selected applied imaging and techniques in a range of applications.
