Teaching and Learning Methods: Illustrated lectures, seminars, tutorials and workshops (approx 36 hrs). Assessment Rationale: • Practical projects will be used to assess students’ technical skills and response to a brief. The practical work will be assessed by images, technical reports and /or workbooks. Students will be assessed on image quality, interpretation and fulfilment of brief and use of hardware and software. (Learning outcomes: 1,2,4,5,6) • Written courseworks will be used to assess students understanding of the subject and research skills. (Learning outcomes: 2,3,4) Assessment criteria: The extent to which the student is able to demonstrate the ability to: • Understand the principles of selected techniques and their role in a range of applications. • Understand the nature and limitations of digital images and systems. • Extract relevant information from photographic and digital images. • Manage digital images and imaging systems. • Use relevant tools in calibration and colour management. • Optimise image quality for a particular application or practical brief. • Understand theoretical concepts and apply them to problem solving using analytical and systematic methodology. • Clearly and coherently communicate results of research.

Full Module Title: METHODS IN PHOTOSCIENCE Short Module Title: PHOTOSCIENCE METHODS Module Code: 2DPI411 Module Level: 4 Academic credit weighting: 30 credits. Length: 1 semester School: Media, Art and Design. Department: Photographic and Digital Media Module Leader: Efie Bilissi Extension: 4581 Host Course: BSc(Hons) Photography and Digital Imaging Status: Core. Subject Board: Pre-requisites: None. Co-requisites: None. Assessment: 40% laboratory work, 20% written coursework, 40% examination. Summary of Module content: Methods of Geometrical Optics. Characteristic (input-output) curves of imaging systems. The basis of colour. Introduction to performance assessment (Resolution, sharpness, noise, MTF). Applicable Mathematics and statistics. Module Aims: • To introduce the analytical skills that underpin the scientific study of images and imaging systems. • To supply transferable mathematical skills. • To introduce the fundamental limitations of images and imaging systems as carriers of information. • To introduce concepts of image quality and their measurement. • To implement simple theoretical performance measures into practical schemes for a range of systems and images. • To develop the practical skills necessary for the reliable collection of data for image quality measurement. • To analyse and present results and conclusions from an investigation, with due regard of experimental error, procedural assumptions and other necessary practical simplifications. Learning Outcomes: On completion of the module the successful student will be able to: 1. Define some simple measures of image quality and imaging system performance and explain their importance. 2. Measure and interpret the input-output relationships for a variety of imaging processes. 3. Explain the significance of linear and non-linear systems in imaging chains. 4. Relate aspects of image quality to measurable properties and measure simple aspects of objective image quality. 5. Describe the basic relationships between image properties and the physical processes producing the image. 6. Employ the basic methods of geometrical constructs and ray tracing in studying image formation in optical systems. 7. Understand the basic principles of calculus as a powerful analytical tool. 8. Use some important ideas and results from probability theory and statistics. 9. Work in a group and plan simple projects. Indicative syllabus content: Optics: Light rays. Geometrical optics. Cardinal points, stops and pupils. Measurement units: Illumination, exposure, intensity, transmittance, density, voltage, pixel level. Macroscopic input-output relationships: Photographic D-log H, Digital: dv-exposure. Sensitivity: Film speed, Responsivity. Tone reproduction: Quadrant diagrams for photographic and digital systems.
