Form(s) of Assessment (additional text)

Candidates must provide one paper where the applicability of the topics of the course to her/his own thesis work is thoroughly discussed. The paper should be in the form of a scientific paper, include examples of the application of computational image processing methods, and preferably constitute a basis for a future publishable scientific paper.
