Image Processing using the Julia Language – A Tutorial

Abstract Julia is a relatively new programming language that combines many of the best features of languages like Python and tools like Matlab. One interacts with Julia like other high-level scripting languages, e.g., through Jupyter notebooks, yet Julia has excellent computational performance because it is built on top of the LLVM compiler. This tutorial will illustrate some of language features in the context of implementing image processing applications like image denoising and image super-resolution.
