The Department of Mathematics conducted a skill-building workshop "Matrix and its Applications in Image & Video Processing" on April 21, 2023. The workshop was convened by Dr. C. Rajesh, HOD, Department of Mathematics, and coordinated by Dr. S. Thalapathiraj and Dr. R. Venkatraman.
The workshop started with an inaugural address by Dr. S. Thalapathiraj, who introduced the theme of the workshop and the importance of matrices in image and video processing. 79 students participated in the workshop from various departments.
The presidential address was given by Dr. C. V. Jayakumar (Dean E&T), he explained the importance of mathematics in various fields. The special address was given by Dr. C. Gomathy (VP - Academics and Placements). She explained how students should learn maths from an application point of view. Dr. C. Rajesh elaborated on why maths needs to be learned with fun and the importance of mathematics in career.
The Resource person of the day, Dr J. Arun Nehru (Asst. Prof(Sr. G)/CSE, SRMIST, Vadapalani Campus) shared a few words about the role MATLAB plays in the field of Artificial intelligence and machine learning, he also detailed on how matrix acts as a basic backbone for the whole image and video processing. The workshop started at 9.30 with an introduction to MATLAB and how matrices are used in image and video processing.
He demonstrated some examples in image and video processing. The most useful hands-on session started at 1.00 pm with students practicing the basics of image and video processing.
The event ended at 2.45 pm with a doubt-clarifying and feedback session. The event was a grand success and received very good feedback from the students. The students felt the program was very useful and said they learned basic knowledge of MATLAB’s image and video processing.
