Digital Image
When x, y and f are discrete and finite the image is called digital
image.

A digital image is a representation of a two-dimensional image
as a finite set of digital values, called picture elements or pixels
8 Resolution
of
36 Resolution is an important characteristic of an imaging system.
It is the ability of the imaging system to produce the smallest
discernable details, i.e., the smallest sized object clearly, and
differentiate it from the neighboring small objects that are
present in the image.
Bit Depth
The number of bits necessary to encode the pixel value is
called bit depth. Bit depth is a power of two; it can be written
as powers of 2.
slow and
unreliable
Make machines do the
job instead
Industrial vision systems
are used in all kinds of industries.

Examples: PCB Inspection
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) inspection
– Machine inspection is used to determine that all
components are present and that all solder joints are
acceptable
– Both conventional imaging and x-ray imaging are
used

Image Enhancement-
• Highlighting certain features of interest in an image suitable
for specific application.
• It is a subjective process
Because what constitutes a good enhancement result is based
on human subjective preferences

• Deals with improving the appearance of image
• It is a objective process
• Because restoration techniques based on the mathematical or
probalistic models of image degradation.

Morphological Processing
• Deals with tools for extracting image components that are
useful in image representation and description of shape.
Segmentation
• Partitioning an image into its constituent parts or objects.
• If more accurate segmentation then more succeeded
recognition is done.
