If anyone else is interested, Coursera just started a "Fundamentals of Digital Image and Video Processing" in partnership with Northwestern University. From the syllabus, it looks like many relevant topics will be explored.

The course started on March 31, 2014. Here is the general course outline:
• Introduction, Image and Video Processing vs Image and Video Analysis vs Computer Vision, the electromagnetic spectrum, applications of image and video processing • 2D and 3D signals and systems, linear and shift invariant systems (convolution) • 2D and 3D Fourier transform, 2D and 3D discrete-Fourier transform, uniform sampling (rectangular, arbitrary geometry) • Motion estimation and its applications • Image and video enhancement (e.g., edge detection, noise filtering, histogram equalization, inpainting) • Image recovery (restoration, super-resolution) • Video recovery (restoration, super-resolution) • Lossless compression • Image compression techniques and standards • Video compression techniques and standards • Image and video analysis (e.g., 2D and 3D segmentation, anomaly detection, clustering) • Sparsity-based advances in image and video processing
