Immersive Imaging Track

Immersive Imaging

EMJM in Imaging Consortium is preparing a new track called "Immersive Imaging", planned to start in Autumn 2025.

In this dedicated track, we welcome you to the exciting world of Immersive Imaging, where technology and creativity come together to reshape how we see and interact with the visual world. Here, you will explore a mix of essential concepts and cutting-edge tools, like computer graphics, signal processing, and deep learning, that bring images and 3D visuals to life. Traverse through immersive topics like computer vision, multiview geometry, and extended reality while working on real-world projects and hands-on labs. With industry-driven Imaging Seminars and plenty of opportunities to connect theory with practice, you will leave this program ready to take on the challenges of the ever-evolving world of immersive imaging.

Courses

Within the Immersive Imaging track, the following courses are given to support you in your journey of becoming an imaging expert.

Year one at Mid Sweden University, Campus Sundsvall:

• Signal and Image Processing, 6 ECTS*
  • *May need to be replaced with Databases - Modelling and Implementing, 6 ECTS, depending on the admitted student’s prior knowledge and academic background. i.e., if the admitted student lacks knowledge on databases.
• Probability and Random Processes, 6 ECTS
• Quantitative Research and Development, 6 ECTS
• Applied Optimization, 6 ECTS
• Computer Graphics, 6 ECTS
• Datamining and Machine Learning, 6 ECTS
• Computer Vision and Multiview Geometry, 6 ECTS 
• Visualization, 6 ECTS
• Neural Networks and Deep Learning, 6 ECTS
• Image Analysis, 6 ECTS
• Imaging Seminars at Politecnico di Milano
  • Imaging Seminars are an innovative educational tool, designed to instruct students about the practical challenges and recent trends in imaging science and technology. Seminars will host presenters from both academic and industrial associated partners visiting Politecnico di Milano. Furthermore, these seminars will constitute a unique opportunity to help students to tailor their study plans to what mostly fit their interests and career goals and to identify a related thesis topic accordingly.

Year two at Tampere University:

• Students have to collect at least 30 ECTS from elective courses listed below (excluding Master Thesis):
  • Fourier Optics, 5 ECTS
  • Imaging Sensors and Systems, 5 ECTS
  • Advanced Image Processing, 5 ECTS
  • Imaging Systems Lab, 5 ECTS
  • Deep Learning for Computer Vision, 5 ECTS
  • 3D and Extended Reality, 5 ECTS
  • Vector Space Methods for Signal and Image Processing, 5 ECTS
  • Deep Learning, 5 ECTS
• Tampere Imaging Ecosystem seminar – No additional credits
  • Engineers from Imaging Tampere companies present challenging imaging problems and trends related with their work & Students being part-time interns at the companies, present their cases and stories.
• Master Thesis Seminar – Obligatory part of thesis with no additional credits
• Master Thesis, 30 ECTS

The master’s degree project

The degree project amounts to one full semester of full-time work and is normally undertaken during the last semester. The project is carried out in the area defined by and relevant to the courses taken during the programme. The thesis project will be jointly supervised by professors at Mid Sweden University and Tampere University.

Track requirements

There are the following requirements for the Immersive Imaging track:

• The students should be eligible for application and admission (check the Application and Admission page)
• The selected students need to be admitted to two programs at both Mid Sweden University and Tampere University:
  • Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's Programme in Imaging, at Mid Sweden University
  • Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's in Imaging at Tampere University
• Students must satisfy the degree requirements of both institutions, i.e., complete the offered courses.

Type of degree

The successful completion of the curriculum is rewarded by two diplomas from Mid Sweden University and Tampere University for the “Immersive Imaging” track. The degrees will be:

• Master of Science in Computer Engineering for Mid Sweden University, and
• Master of Science in Technology for Tampere University.
