Image Processing

An image is defined as a 2D function f(x,y)

x and y are spatial (plane) coordinates

amplitude of f at (x,y) is its intensity

If x, y and the intensity values of f are finite,

discrete quantities, that image is called as a
digital image
Processing of Digital Images using a Digital
computer is referred as Digital Image
Processing

Applications of DIP

Improvement of pictorial information for

human interpretation
Processing scene data for autonomous
machine perception
Systems based on IP

i/p images and o/p images

o/p images and o/p attributes extracted
from the imput image

Fundamental Steps in DIP

Image acquisition

Image enhancement

basic preprocessing / digitization

manipulating an image to make it more suitable
than the original for a specific application

Image restoration

improving the appearance of the image based on

mathematical models

Fundamental Steps in DIP

Colour image processing

Wavelets

relates to colour models and basic colour

processing in digital domain
representing images in various degrees of
resolution

Compression

reducing the storage required to save an image.

Fundamental Steps in DIP

Segmentation

Representation & feature extraction

Partitioning an image into its constituent

parts or objects
Transforming data obtained from
segmentation for further processing and
distinguishing objects

Recognition & interpretation

assigning a label based on its features
