What is Image Processing? What is the Purpose ?
Image processing is a method to convert an image into digital form and
perform some operations on it.
The purpose of image processing is divided into 5 groups. They are:
1. Visualization - Observe the objects that are not visible.
2. Image sharpening and restoration - To create a better image.
3. Image retrieval - Seek for the image of interest.
4. Measurement of pattern – Measures various objects in an image.
5. Image Recognition – Distinguish the objects in an image.

 Application :
1. Intelligent Transportation Systems – This technique can be used in Automatic
number plate recognition and Traffic sign recognition.
2. Remote Sensing – For this application, sensors capture the pictures of the
earth’s surface in remote sensing satellites or multi – spectral scanner which is
mounted on an aircraft.
3. Moving object tracking – This application enables to measure motion
parameters and acquire visual record of the moving object.
4. Defense surveillance – Aerial surveillance methods are used to continuously
keep an eye on the land and oceans.
5. Biomedical Imaging techniques – For medical diagnosis, different types of
imaging tools such as X- ray, Ultrasound, computer aided tomography (CT) etc
are used.
6. Automatic Visual Inspection System – This application improves the quality and
productivity of the product in the industries.

 Current Research :
1. Cancer Imaging – Different tools such as MRI, and Computer aided

Detection helps to diagnose and be aware of the tumour.

2. Brain Imaging – Focuses on the normal and abnormal development of

brain, brain ageing and common disease states.

3. Image processing – This research incorporates structural and functional

MRI in neurology, analysis of bone shape and structure … Many More…
