ABSTRACT

.Vision is a major source of information for human beings. In olden days it was
chimerical and very surprising thing but over the decade the trend has changed by
technological feasts occurring around the world. Image processing has definitely has its
impact on communication devices such as cell phone, web camera.

By using Digital Image Processing we enhance the digital

images and extracting information and features from the image. Because of the
computational load of dealing with images containing millions of pixels, digital image
processing was largely of academic interest until the 1970s, when dedicated hardware
became available that could process images in real time, for some dedicated problems
such as television standards conversion. With the fast computers and signal processors
available in the 2000s, digital image processing has become the most common form of
image processing, and is generally used because it is not only the most versatile method,
but also the cheapest.

. There are many applications for Image Processing like surveillance, navigation, and
robotics. This technology is more useful in the investigation in Crime Branch. Digital
Image Processing has the advantages as a wider range of algorithm to be applied to the
input data and can avoid the problems such as build-up of noise and signal distortion
during processing. For this the NASA and U.S military have developed advanced
computer software which improves the clarity of and amount of detail visible in still and
video images.
Interest in digital image processing methods stems from two principal
application areas: improvement pictorial information for human interpretation; and
processing of image data for storage, transmission, and representation for autonomous
machine perception.

INTRODUCTION:
Digital Image Processing is concerned with acquiring and processing of an image. In
simple words an image is a representation of a real scene, either in black and white or in
color, and either in print form or in a digital form i.e., technically an image is a two-
dimensional light intensity function. In other words it is a data intensity values arranged
in a two-dimensional form like an array, the required property of an image can be
extracted from processing an image. Image is typically by stochastic models. It is
represented by AR model. Degradation is represented by MA model.

Other form is orthogonal series expansion. Image processing system is typically non-
casual system. Image processing is two dimensional signal processing. Due to linearity
Property, we can operate on rows and columns separately. Image processing is vastly
being implemented by “Vision Systems” in robotics. Robots are designed, and meant to
be controlled by a computer or similar devices. While “Vision Systems” are most
sophisticated sensors used in Robotics. They relate the function of a robot to its
environment as all other sensors do. “Vision Systems” may be used for a variety of
applications, including manufacturing, navigation and surveillance. Some of the
applications of Image Processing are:

1. Robotics. 3. Graphics and Animations.

2. Medical Field. 4. Satellite Imaging

HISTORY:
Because of the computational load of dealing with images containing
millions of pixels, digital image processing was largely of academic interest until the
1970s, when dedicated hardware became available that could process images in real time,
for some dedicated problems such as television standards conversion. As general-purpose
computers became faster, they started to take over the role of dedicated hardware for all
but the most specialized and compute-intensive operations.
With the fast computers and signal processors available in the 2000s,
digital image processing has become the most common form of image processing, and is
generally used because it is not only the most versatile method, but also the cheapest.

IMAGE PROCESSING:

First we see what digital image is

DIGITAL IMAGE:

A digital image is a representation of a two-dimensional as a finite set of values, called

picture elements or. Typically, the pixels are stored in computer memory or a two-
dimensional array of small integers. These values are often transmitted or stored in a
form.

Digital images can be by a variety of input devices and techniques, such as,
scanners, coordinate-measuring machines, seismographic profiling, airborne radar, and
more.

It is an image that was acquired through scanners or captured from digital

cameras. The most common kind of digital image processing is digital image editing

Image processing is enhancing image or extracting information or features from an

image. Any activity that transforms an input image into an output image. The
manipulation and alteration of images using computer software.

DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING:

Digital image processing is the use of computer to perform on. Digital image
processing has the same advantages (over analog image processing) as has (over analog
signal processing) -- it allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input
data, and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and signal distortion during
processing

1. IMAGE ACQUISITION:
An image is captured by a sensor (such as a monochrome or color TV camera) and
digitized. If the output of the camera or sensor is not already in digital form, an analog-to
digital converter digitizes it.

2. RECOGNITION AND INTERPRETATION:

Recognition is the process that assigns a label to an object based on the information
provided by its descriptors. Interpretation is assigning meaning to an ensemble of
recognized objects.

3. SEGMENTATION:
Segmentation is the generic name for a number of different techniques that divide the
image into segments of its constituents. The purpose of segmentation is to separate the
information contained in the image into smaller entities that can be used for other
purposes.
4. REPRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION:
Representation and Description transforms raw data into a form suitable for the
Recognition processing.

5. KNOWLEDGE BASE:
A problem domain detailing the regions of an image where the information of interest is
known to be located is known as knowledge base. It helps to limit the search.

THRESHOLDING:
Threshold is the process of dividing an image into different portions by picking a certain
grayness level as a threshold, comparing each pixel value with the threshold, and then
assigning the pixel to the different portions, depending on whether the pixel’s grayness
level is below the threshold or above the threshold value. Threshold can be performed
either at a single level or at multiple levels, in which the image is processed by dividing it
into ” layers”, each with a selected threshold. Various techniques are available to choose
www.SeminarsTopics.com
an appropriate threshold ranging from simple routines for binary images to sophisticated
techniques for complicated images.

CONNECTIVITY:
Sometimes we need to decide whether neighboring pixels are somehow “connected” or
related to each other. Connectivity establishes whether they have the same property, such
as being of the same region, coming from the same object, having a similar texture, etc.
To establish the connectivity of neighboring pixels, we first have to decide upon a
connectivity path.

NOISE REDUCTION:
Like other signal processing mediums, Vision Systems contains noises. Some noises are
systematic and come from dirty lenses, faulty electronic components, bad memory chips
and low resolution. Others are random and are caused by environmental effects or bad
lighting. The net effect is a corrupted image that needs to be preprocessed to reduce or
eliminate the noise. In addition, sometimes images are not of good quality, due to both
hardware and software inadequacies; thus, they have to be enhanced and improved before
other analysis can be performed on them.

CONVOLUTION MASKS:
A mask may be used for many different purposes, including filtering operations and noise
reduction. Noise and Edges produces higher frequencies in the spectrum of a signal. It is
possible to create masks that behave like a low pass filter, such that higher frequencies of
an image are attenuated while the lower frequencies are not changed very much. There by
the noise is reduced.

EDGE DETECTION:
Edge Detection is a general name for a class of routines and techniques that operate on an
image and results in a line drawing of the image. The lines represented changes in values
such as cross sections of planes, intersections of planes, textures, lines, and colors, as
well as differences in shading and textures. Some techniques are mathematically oriented,
www.SeminarsTopics.com
some are heuristic, and some are descriptive. All generally operate on the differences
between the gray levels of pixels or groups of pixels through masks or thresholds. The
final result is a line drawing or similar representation that requires much less memory to
be stored, is much simpler to be processed, and saves in computation and storage costs.
Edge detection is also necessary in subsequent process, such as segmentation and object
recognition.

IMAGE DATA COMPRESSION:

Electronic images contain large amounts of information and thus require data
transmission lines with large bandwidth capacity. The requirements for the temporal and
spatial resolution of an image, the number of images per second, and the number of gray
levels are determined by the required quality of the image. Recent data transmission and
storage techniques have significantly improved image transmission capabilities, including
transmission over the Internet.

Importance of image data

According to one estimate, more than 75 percent of all the information received by man
is visual. Some researchers arguably consider this figure to be as high as 99 percent!
Even if we consider the conservative estimate, the remaining four senses contribute to
only 25 percent of the total share. And man has known this since ancient times. Probably
that’s the reason why the ancient Chinese coined the now popular proverb, “A picture
speaks a thousand words.” It is very evident that vision is a major source of information
for human beings, and thus if we could possibly provide similar visual faculties to
machines, we shall be able to achieve visual automation for a very broad range of
applications.

Image Processing vs. Computer Graphics

There generally is a bit of confusion in recognizing the difference between the fields of
Image Processing and Computer Graphics, often even in the minds of tech-savvy
computer professionals. Actually, Image Processing and Computer Graphics are entirely
different, almost the opposite of each other. A computer graphics system is involved with
image synthesis, and not recognition or analysis, as in the case of Image Processing. The
input of a computer graphics system consists of an item list that describes a scene and its
purpose is to transform this list into a digital image, which could have been formed, if
this scene would really exist. Morphing used in advertisements could be said to be the
most commonly witnessed computer graphics technique. In contrast, input to an Image
Processing system is always a real image formed via some physical phenomenon such as
scanning, filming, etc. The main role of Image Processing is not to create information but
to extract it, integrate it, make it explicit and usable.

IMAGE EDITOR FEATURES:

Listed below are some of the most used capabilities of the better graphic
manipulation programs. The list is by no means all inclusive. There are a myriad of
choices associated with the application of most of these features.

 Image Size Alteration: Image editors can resize an image, making it larger, or
smaller. High image resolution cameras can produce large images which are
often reduced in size for Internet use. Image editor programs use a mathematical
process called re-sampling to calculate new pixel values whose spacing is larger
or smaller than the original pixel values..
 Noise Removal: Image editors may feature a number of algorithms which can
add or remove noise in an image. JPEG artifacts can be removed; dust &
scratches can be removed and an image can be despeckled. Noise tends to invade
images when pictures are taken in low light settings.
 Removal of Unwanted Elements: Most image editors can be used to remove
unwanted branches, etc, using a "clone" tool.

 Selective Color Change: Image editors have the ability to selectively change
the

color of specific items in an image.

An example of selective color change, the original is on the right.

 Merging Of Images: Many graphics applications are capable of merging one

or more individual images into a single picture. The orientation and placement of
each image can be controlled. The two images shown here were once individual
studio portraits.

John and Bertha Phillips - 1910

An example of some special effects that can be added to a picture.

 Change Color Depth: It is possible, using software, to change the color depth of
images. Common color depths are 2, 16, 256, and 16 million colors. The JPEG
and PNG image formats are capable of storing 16.7 million colors (equal to 256
luminance values per color channel). In addition, grayscale images of 8 bits or
less can be created, usually via conversion and down sampling from a full color
image.

An example of converting an image from color to grayscale.

Applications :
APPLICATION 1:
Image Processing is vastly being implemented in Vision Systems in Robotics. Robots
capture the real time images using cameras and process them to fulfill the desired action.
Here the usage of sensors/cameras and Edge Detection technique are related to Image
Processing and Vision Systems. By this technique the complexity of using manual
sensors is minimized to a great extent and thereby sophistication is increased. Hence
image processing is used here in the study of robotics.

APPLICATION 2:
In the field of Medicine this is highly applicable in areas like Medical imaging, Scanning,
Ultrasound and X-rays etc. Image Processing is rapidly used for MRI SCAN (Magnetic
Resonance Imaging) and CT SCAN (Computer Tomography). Tomography is an
imaging technique that generates an image of a thin cross sectional slice of a test piece.

ADVANTAGES:

1. One of the biggest advantages of digital imaging is the ability of the operator to
manipulate the pixel shades to correct image density and contrast, is called Post-
Processing. And perform other processing functions that could result in improved
diagnosis and fewer repeated examinations.
2. Digital imaging allows the electronic transmission of images to third-party
providers, referring dentists, consultants, and insurance carriers via a modem.
3. Digital imaging is also environmentally friendly since it does not require chemical
processing. It is well known that used film processing chemicals contaminate the
water supply system with harmful metals such as the silver found in used fixer
solution.
4. Radiation dose reduction is also a benefit derived from the use of digital systems.
Some manufacturers have claimed a 90% decrease in radiation exposure, but the
real savings depend on comparisons.

DISADVANTAGES:

There are also disadvantages associated with the use of digital systems.
1. The initial cost can be high depending on the system used, the number of
detectors purchased, etc.
2. Competency using the software can take time to master depending on the level of
computer literacy of team members. Finally, since digital imaging in dentistry is
not standardized, professionals are unable to exchange information without going
through an intermediary process.

CONCLUSION:
It’s a critical study, which plays a vital role in modern world as it is involved with
advanced use of science and technology. The advances in technology have created
tremendous opportunities for Vision System and Image Processing. There is no doubt
that the trend will continue into the future Over the next few years, the growth of digital
imageprocessing is going to be enormous with new products and technologies coming out
frequently. In order to get the most out of this period, it is going to be important that
imageprocessing planners and developers have a clear idea of what they are looking for
and then choose strategies and methods that will provide them with performance today
and flexibility for tomorrow. . From the above discussion we can conclude that this field
has relatively more advantages than disadvantages and hence is very useful in varied
branches.
