Integrating image computation in undergraduate level data-structure education

摘要

There is a growing need for expertise both in image analysis and in software engineer- ing. To date, these two areas have been taught separately in an undergraduate computer and information science curriculum. However, we have found that introduction to image analysis can be easily integrated in data-structure courses without detracting from the original goal of teaching data structures. Some of the image processing tasks offer a natural way to introduce basic data structures such as arrays, queues, stacks, tress and hash tables.
