Digital Image Processing
• Any 2D mathematical function f(x,y) that bears information can be
represented as an image. A digital image is an array of real or complex
numbers represented by a finite number of bits.
• The amplitude of f is called the intensity or the gray level aat point (x,y)

Digital Image Processing
Digital image processing covers low and high level
of processes
low level: input and output are images
mid level: output are attributes extracted from
images
high level: an ensemble of recognition of
individual objects.
pixel: small controllable element of a picture

Key Stages in Digital Image
Processing

Digital Image Processing Problems
1. Image Acquisition:
The image is captured by a sensor (ex:camera) and digitized if the output of the
camera or sensor is not already in digital form using analog to digital converser
2. Image enhancement:
The goal of image enhancement is to emphasize certain image features for
subsequent analysis or for image display. It deals with contrast manipulation,
edge detection, pseudocoloring, noise filtering, sharpening, and magnifying.
3. Image restoration:
It refers to removal or minimization of known degradation in an image. This
includes deblurring of images degraded by the limitations of sensors or
environment, noise filtering, and correction of geometric distortions. Weiner and
Kalman filtering techniques are common tools used in image restoration.

4. Morphological Analysis:
It deals with tool for extracting image components that are useful in the
representation and description of shape. Ex; fingerprint analysis
5. Image reconstruction:
Image reconstruction from projections is a special class of image restoration
problems where two- (or higher) dimensional object is reconstructed from
several one-dimensional projections. For example, in medical imaging, each
projection is obtained by projecting a parallel X-ray beam through the object.
6. Image segmentation:
Partition an image into its constituent parts or objects. The more
accurate the segmentation, the more likely the recognition is be succeed.
