Image processing
In electrical engineering and computer
science, image processing is any form of
signal processing for which the input is an
image, such as a photograph or video frame;
the output of image processing may be
either an image or, a set of characteristics or
parameters related to the image. Most
image-processing techniques involve
treating the image as a two-dimensional
signal and applying standard
signal-processing techniques to it.
Typical operations
• Euclidean geometry transformations such
as enlargement, reduction, and rotation
• Color corrections such as brightness and
contrast adjustments, color mapping,
color balancing, quantization, or color
translation to a different color space The red, green, and blue color channels of a photograph by Sergei Mikhailovich
Prokudin-Gorskii; the fourth image is a composite
• Digital compositing or optical
compositing (combination of two or more
images), which is used in film-making to make a "matte"
• Interpolation, demosaicing, and recovery of a full image from a raw image format using a Bayer filter pattern
• Image registration, the alignment of two or more images
• Image differencing and morphing
• Image recognition, for example, may extract the text from the image using optical character recognition or
checkbox and bubble values using optical mark recognition
• Image segmentation
• High dynamic range imaging by combining multiple images
• Geometric hashing for 2-D object recognition with affine invariance
