Fundamentals of Image Processing

This document provides an overview of digital image processing. It defines digital image processing as a discipline where both the input and output are images. The key steps involved are: 1) image acquisition, 2) pre-processing to improve the image, 3) segmentation to separate the image into parts, 4) representation to convert pixels into a format for processing, 5) description to extract features, 6) recognition to label objects, and 7) interpretation to assign meaning to recognized objects. A digital image processing system includes components for image acquisition, storage, processing, display, and communication.
