CSE 527 Notes II

Digital image processing involves importing an image, analyzing and manipulating it, and outputting a modified image or report. An image is a two-dimensional array of pixels, where each pixel has an intensity value. Images can be binary, black and white, grayscale, or color. In MATLAB, images are represented as matrices with pixel values. The main phases of image processing are acquisition, enhancement, restoration, color processing, compression, morphological processing, segmentation, representation, and object detection.

CSE 527-DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING

LECTURE MATERIAL 2
Digital Image Processing Basics

Digital Image Processing means processing a digital image by means of a digital


computer. We can also say that it is a use of computer algorithms, in order to get an
enhanced image or to extract some useful information from an image.

Image processing mainly include the following steps:

1. Importing the image via image acquisition tools

2. Analyzing and manipulating the image

3. Output in which result can be altered image or a report which is based on analyzing
that image.

What is an image?

An image is defined as a two-dimensional function(x,y), where x and y are spatial


coordinates, and the amplitude of F at any pair of coordinates (x,y) is called
the intensity of that image at that point. When x,y, and amplitude values of F are finite,
we call it a digital image. In other words, an image can be defined by a two-dimensional
array specifically arranged in rows and columns. Digital Image is composed of a finite
number of elements, each of which elements have a particular value at a particular
location. These elements are referred to as picture elements, image elements, and pixels.
Pixel is most widely used to denote the elements of a Digital Image.
Types of an image
1. BINARY IMAGE– The binary image as its name suggests, contain only two pixel
elements i.e 0 & 1, where 0 refers to black and 1 refers to white. This image is also
known as Monochrome.
2. BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE– The image which consist of only black and white
color is called BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE.
3. 8 bit COLOR FORMAT– It is the most famous image format. It has 256 different
shades of colors in it and commonly known as Grayscale Image. In this format, 0
stands for Black, and 255 stands for white, and 127 stands for gray.
4. 16 bit COLOR FORMAT– It is a color image format. It has 65,536 different colors in
it. It is also known as High Color Format. In this format the distribution of color is not
as same as Grayscale image. A 16 bit format is actually divided into three further formats
which are Red, Green and Blue. That famous RGB format.
Image as a Matrix

As we know, images are represented in rows and columns we have the following syntax
in which images are represented. Every element of this matrix is called image element ,
picture element , or pixel.

DIGITAL IMAGE REPRESENTATION IN MATLAB:

In MATLAB the start index is from 1 instead of 0. Therefore, f(1,1) = f(0,0).


henceforth the two representation of image are identical, except for the shift in origin.
In MATLAB, matrices are stored in a variable i.e X,x,input_image , and so on. The
variables must be a letter as same as other programing languages.

PHASES OF IMAGE PROCESSING:


1. ACQUISITION– It could be as simple as being given an image which is in digital form.
The main work involves: a)Scaling b)Color conversion(RGB to Gray or vice-versa)

2. IMAGE ENHANCEMENT– It is amongst the simplest and most appealing in areas of


Image Processing it is also used to extract some hidden details from an image and is
subjective.

3. IMAGE RESTORATION– It also deals with appealing of an image but it is objective


(Restoration is based on mathematical or probabilistic model or image degradation).

4. COLOR IMAGE PROCESSING– It deals with pseudocolor and full color image
processing color models are applicable to digital image processing.
5. WAVELETS AND MULTI-RESOLUTION PROCESSING– It is foundation of
representing images in various degrees.

6. IMAGE COMPRESSION-It involves in developing some functions to perform this


operation. It mainly deals with image size or resolution.

7. MORPHOLOGICAL PROCESSING-It deals with tools for extracting image


components that are useful in the representation & description of shape.

8. SEGMENTATION PROCEDURE-It includes partitioning an image into its constituent


parts or objects. Autonomous segmentation is the most difficult task in Image Processing.

9. REPRESENTATION & DESCRIPTION-It follows output of segmentation stage,


choosing a representation is only the part of solution for transforming raw data into
processed data.

10. OBJECT DETECTION AND RECOGNITION-It is a process that assigns a label to an


object based on its descriptor.

OVERLAPPING FIELDS WITH IMAGE PROCESSING

According to block 1, if input is an image and we get out image as a output, then it is
termed as Digital Image Processing.

According to block 2, if input is an image and we get some kind of information or


description as a output, then it is termed as Computer Vision.

According to block 3, if input is some description or code and we get image as an output,
then it is termed as Computer Graphics.

According to block 4, if input is description or some keywords or some code and we get
description or some keywords as a output, then it is termed as Artificial Intelligence
