What are images


An image is a (measured) physical quantity as a function of position
Radiation intensity: X-ray, UV, visible, IR Acoustical wave Surface height and depth: radar, triangulation, scanning probe

2-D images I(x,y)


Projection of a 3-D scene onto a 2-D sensor

3-D images: I(x,y,z)


CT: Computerized tomography MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Optical sectioning in (confocal) microscopy Seismic images (after inversion)

Conversion of the continuous world into a digital representation

What are images


A picture is primarily a signal 2D (x, y). Often, this image represents reality 3D (x, y, z). From a mathematical point of view :
An image is a matrix of numbers representing a signal. Several tools to manipulate the signal.

From a human point of view :


An image contains several semantic information. We must interpret the content beyond the numbers.

General principle :
The incident energy is converted into electrical Signal output is proportional to the light Filter to increase the selectivity

The acquisition of an image


CCD digital cameras
Matrix CCD (Charged Coupled Devices) Digital acquisition system most used 2D The response is proportional to the integral of energy light reaching each element For color, it uses three sensors per pixel response to of different wavelengths (red, green and blue )

The human eye does not address the same way every color. It is more sensitive to green

CIE color model


The RGB system represent some negative components to create color, for that the CIE (International Commission on illumination) creates the XYZ colors.

HSV system (Hue saturation value)


The HSV model is commonly used in computer graphics applications. In various application contexts, a user must choose a color to be applied to a particular graphical element. When used in this way, the HSV color wheel is often used. In it, the hue is represented by a circular region; a separate triangular region may be used to represent saturation and value. Typically, the vertical axis of the triangle indicates saturation, while the horizontal axis corresponds to value. In this way, a color can be chosen by first picking the hue from the circular region, then selecting the desired saturation and value from the triangular region.

An HSV color wheel allows the user to quickly select a multitude of colors.

The conical representation of the HSV model is well-suited to visualizing the entire HSV color space in a single object.

Numerical images
Numerical image is a Tab or Matrix I(n,m)
n is a number of colon m is a number of row (n,m) index of any pixels of image

Grayscale resolution

Grayscale resolution is defined by the number of bits


1 bits <=> 2 Levels (0 or 1) 2 bits <=> 4 levels (0,1,2 and 3) . .. 8 bits <=> 256 levels (0,1,2,3,., 255)

Resolution
Image resolution describes the detail an image holds. The term applies equally to digital , film images, and other types of images. Higher resolution means more image detail.

Histogram
An image histogram is type of histogram which acts as a graphical representation of the tonal distribution in a digital image. It plots the number of pixels for each tonal value.
