 Image Processing
• Encompass a set of techniques that enhance,
interpret, or filter an input image to create a
new output image with better characteristics.

 Geographical Information Systems

•Geographic Information Systems

– Digital image processing techniques are used
extensively to manipulate satellite imagery
– Terrain classification
– Meteorology
 Law Enforcement
•Image processing
techniques are used
extensively by law enforcers
– Number plate recognition
for speed
cameras/automated toll
systems
– Fingerprint recognition

Lidar Images for Cadastre
 Industrial Inspection

• Human operators are

expensive, slow and
unreliable
• Make machines do
the job instead
• Industrial vision
systems
are used in all kinds of
industries
