Module-2 Histogram

The document discusses histograms and how they can be used to analyze images. A histogram plots the frequency or probability of occurrence of different pixel intensities in an image. It provides a global description of an image's appearance and can be used to assess properties like contrast and brightness. The document contains an example histogram based on frequency and probability for a sample image, and discusses enhancing an image using histogram equalization.

Histogram plots

Image quality assessment tool


• Histogram gives a useful summary of
distribution of grey levels in an image.
• Plotting the frequency of occurrence of
various grey levels gives the distribution of
grey levels.
• Also provides the global description of
appearance of image
• X-axis : grey level values
• Y-axis: no. of pixels having that intensity
