Image Processing - Mid Exam

An image is a two-dimensional continuous light intensity function, while a digital image is its discrete counterpart obtained through sampling and quantization. Image processing involves converting images into digital form and applying operations to enhance or extract information, whereas digital image processing specifically refers to the digitization of images for processing. Key stages in digital image processing include sampling and quantization, which transform continuous data into a digital format suitable for analysis.

1. What is a Image and digital image? 4. Key stages in digital image processing.

Definition of Image: The term image refers to a two


dimensional continuous light intensity function g(x,y),
where x and y denote spatial coordinates and the value
of g at any point (x,y) is proportional to the brightness
or gray level of the image at the point.

Definition of digital image: A digital image I[m,n]


described in a 2D discrete space is derived from an
analog image g(x,y) in a 2D continuous space through a
sampling process that is frequently referred to as
digitization.

A digital image is an g(x , y) that is the sampling and


quantization of a two dimensional real image both in

I(m,n) =samples of g(x,y) ; where m and n are integers
and I is the intensity at m and n. A digital image can be
considered a matrix whose row and column indices
identify a point in the image and the corresponding
matrix element value identifies the gray level at the
point.

3. What is image and digital image processing?

Image Processing: Image processing is a method to


convert an image into digital form and perform some
operations on it, in order to get an enhanced image or
to extract some useful information from it. It is a type
of signal dispensation in which input is image, like
video frame or photograph and output may be image
or characteristics associated with that image. Usually
Image Processing system includes treating images as
two dimensional signals while applying already set
signal processing methods to them.

Digital Image Processing: In order to become suitable


for digital processing, an image function f(x,y) must be
digitized both spatially and in amplitude. Typically, a
frame grabber or digitizer is used to sample and
quantize the analogue video signal. Hence in order to
create an image which is digital, we need to covert
continuous data into digital form. There are two steps
in which it is done: Sampling and Quantization.
