WHY DO WE PROCESS IMAGES?
 Acquire an image
 Correct aperture and color balance
 Reconstruct image from projections
 Prepare for display or printing
 Adjust image size
 Halftoning
 Facilitate picture storage and transmission
 Efficiently store an image in a digital camera
 Send an image from Mars to Earth
 Enhance and restore images
 Remove scratches
