Digital Image Processing Fundamentals

An image is a 2D function defined by spatial x and y coordinates and intensity values. Digital image processing involves processing digital images using a computer. There are several fundamental steps in digital image processing including image acquisition, enhancement, restoration, and compression. The main applications are to improve images for human interpretation, process scene data for machine perception, and develop systems using input and output images.

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
