Image Analysis Methodology Application Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply fundamental image analysis methodologies to extract meaningful information from digital images.
• Analyze image features using appropriate software tools and techniques.
• Evaluate the suitability of different image analysis methods for specific applications.
• Interpret and report image analysis results accurately.
• Implement quality assurance measures to ensure reliability of image analysis outputs.
• Demonstrate the ability to troubleshoot common issues in image analysis workflows.

Target Audience

This course is designed for technicians, analysts, and professionals who work with digital images in sectors such as geospatial analysis, manufacturing, or healthcare and need to apply structured image analysis methods.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. However, basic computer literacy is recommended.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions provide hands-on experience with image acquisition, software tools, and analysis workflows. Learners will apply concepts from lectures to real datasets, troubleshoot issues, and develop robust pipelines. These sessions are essential for mastering the technical skills required for competent image analysis.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Image Acquisition and Pre-processing — Learners set up a camera system, capture images under controlled lighting, and apply pre-processing techniques (noise reduction, contrast enhancement) using software. (6h)
• Practical 2: Segmentation and Feature Extraction — Using sample images, learners apply thresholding and edge detection to segment objects, then extract shape and intensity features using ImageJ or Python. (8h)
• Practical 3: Classification with Machine Learning — Learners train a classifier (e.g., random forest) on extracted features to classify objects into categories, and evaluate model performance. (6h)
• Practical 4: Deep Learning for Object Detection — Using a pre-trained YOLO model, learners detect objects in images, fine-tune on a custom dataset, and assess detection accuracy. (6h)
• Practical 5: Complete Pipeline and Validation — Learners build an end-to-end pipeline from acquisition to classification, validate results against ground truth, and present findings. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
