Adjacency in Image Processing &

Fundamental Steps in Digital Image


Processing

An Overview of Key Concepts and Techniques


Introduction
• Image processing involves analyzing and modifying images to enhance
their quality or extract information.
• Adjacency plays a crucial role in understanding pixel relationships.
• Digital image processing follows a series of fundamental steps.
Definition of Digital Image
Processing
• Digital Image Processing (DIP) refers to the manipulation
of digital images through a digital computer. It involves
processing input images to enhance them or extract
useful information. Techniques can include filtering,
image compression, image enhancement, object
recognition, and spatial transformation.
• Types of Adjacency in Image Processing
1. 4-Adjacency – A pixel is adjacent to four neighbors
(left, right, top, bottom).
2. 8-Adjacency – A pixel is adjacent to eight neighbors
(including diagonals).
3. m-Adjacency (Mixed Adjacency) – A combination
of 4 and 8 adjacency to avoid multiple connections.
• Fundamental Steps in Digital
Image Processing
1. Image Acquisition – Capturing an image using a sensor.
2. Preprocessing – Removing noise and improving image quality.
3. Segmentation – Dividing an image into meaningful regions.
4. Feature Extraction – Identifying important features like edges, shapes,
and textures.
5. Image Recognition – Classifying objects based on extracted features.
6. Image Compression & Storage – Reducing file size while maintaining
quality.
Conclusions
• Adjacency helps define relationships between pixels in image analysis.
• Digital image processing involves structured steps for better image
understanding.
• These concepts are essential for applications like medical imaging, machine
vision, and AI-based recognition.
