    The document discusses image processing and provides information in three key areas: 1. It defines what an image is from a processing perspective as a 2D function where pixel intensity represents brightness or gray level. 2. It outlines some common application areas for image processing like infrastructure damage assessment, geospatial analysis, and aerospace/defense. 3. It identifies challenges in image segmentation like dealing with noise, extracting multiple similar objects of interest, and the speed and storage of segmentation algorithms.

    Image Processing
    2-D function f(x,y) x,y spatial coordinate Amplitude of f > intensity or gray level of the image at that point Spatial - Direct manipulation of pixels The intensity of a pixel is expressed within a given range between a minimum and a maximum, inclusive. This range is represented in an abstract way as a range from 0 (total absence, black) and 7(total presence, white), with any values in between. 8-bit 10x8 pixels gray scale image

    Research Problems in Image Segmentation


    Noise in the image Multiple object similar to Region/Object of interest Multiple Region/Object of interest to be extracted Extraction of unwanted Region/Object by algorithm

    Speed of Algorithm
    Region/Object of interest storage

    Image with & without Noise

    An image containing salt-and-pepper noise will have dark pixels in bright regions and bright pixels in dark regions. This type of noise can be caused by analog-to-digital converter errors, bit errors in transmission, etc

    Multiple object similar to Region/Object of interest

    Image Segmentation Methods


    Clustering methods

    Histogram-based methods
    Edge detection Split-and-merge methods Watershed transformation Region Merging & Growing
