Re: Can the Image Processing Industry Be Entered Without A Specialized Degree?

Hi All

I have a BEng in Electrical and a solid background in C++. I am very
familiar with DSP theory from self-study only. I have familiarity good
with MATLAB. Recently I bought Embedded Image Processing on the
TMS320C6000™ DSP. Soon I plan to buy the C6416 DSK development
platform to practice the exercises involving MATLAB, Code Composer
Studio, and C. The topics covered are advanced like Pattern
Recognition, Adaptive Processing, Wavelets. The reason why I am doing
all this is to enter the image processing industry. For those of you
who are experts in the field. In your opinion is my thinking and
approach correct for entering the field by teaching myself skills?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Sure -- but don't expect to get a job developing algorithms right off. Instead, aim for a job using those EE or C++ skills to make hardware or software that implement the algorithms. If you can really do the algorithm work doors will open for you eventually.
