Image Processing Steps
Computer vision is a field that uses computer algorithms to gain a
high-level understanding from digital images or videos. It has
applications in areas like face detection, object detection and tracking,
developing social distancing tools, and medical image analysis.
Generally, computer vision works in three basic steps:
• Step #1: Acquiring the image/video from a camera,
• Step #2: Processing the image, and.
• Step #3: Understanding the image.
The use of computerized algorithms for the analysis
of image with respect to an application.

Digital image processing:

digital signal processing, digital image processing has many
advantages over analog image 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 distortion during
processing. Since images are defined over two dimensions (perhaps
more) digital image processing may be modeled in the form of
multidimensional systems.
Here are the typical steps in image
processing:
Image processing involves a series of steps to manipulate and analyze
images for various applications.
• Image Acquisition:
• Capturing an image using a camera or other imaging device.
• Ensuring the image is in a suitable format for processing.
Preprocessing:
•Noise Reduction:
Removing noise from the image using filters like Gaussian, median, or bilateral filters.
•Image Enhancement:
Improving the quality of the image through techniques like histogram equalization, contrast adjustment, and
sharpening.
Image Segmentation:
•Dividing the image into meaningful regions or objects. Common
methods include
Thresholding,
Edge detection
Region-based segmentation.
Feature Extraction:
• Identifying and extracting important features from the image, such as
edges, corners, textures, and shapes. Techniques include the use of
algorithms like SIFT, SURF, and HOG.
Image Representation and Description:
Representing the extracted features in a way that can be used for
analysis. This might involve creating feature vectors or using
descriptors.
Object Recognition and Classification:
•Identifying and classifying objects within the image using
machine learning or deep learning models, such as Convolutional
Neural Networks (CNNs).
Post-Processing:
•Refining the results obtained from previous steps. This may
include morphological operations, noise removal, and filling gaps.
Image Analysis and Interpretation:
•Analyzing the processed image to derive meaningful information, such as detecting patterns, measuring object
properties, or making decisions based on the image content.
Output and Visualization:
•Presenting the processed image or the results of the analysis in a human-understandable form, which could include
visual displays, reports, or further actionable insights.
Storage and Retrieval:
•Saving the processed images and related data in a structured format for future use or retrieval.
