Images from Surveillance cameras around us /on us /in our vehicles
are used for
➢ Identifying /recognition of the objects
surveyed(vehicle/people/products).
➢ Counting the number of objects.
➢ Identifying obstacles in the way of vehicles.

The human eye is a slightly asymmetrical sphere with an average diameter of the
length of 20mm to 25mm. It has a volume of about 6.5cc. The eye is just like a
camera. The external object is seen as the camera take the picture of any object.
Light enters the eye through a small hole called the pupil, a black looking
aperture having the quality of contraction of eye when exposed to bright light
and is focused on the retina which is like a camera film.
The lens, iris, and cornea are nourished by clear fluid, know as anterior chamber.
The fluid flows from ciliary body to the pupil and is absorbed through the
channels in the angle of the anterior chamber. The delicate balance of aqueous
production and absorption controls pressure within the eye.
Cones in eye number between 6 to 7 million which are highly sensitive to colors.
Human visualizes the colored image in daylight due to these cones. The cone
vision is also called as photopic or bright-light vision.
Rods in the eye are much larger between 75 to 150 million and are distributed
over the retinal surface. Rods are not involved in the color vision and are
sensitive to low levels of illumination.

Perceived Brightness
Simultaneous Contrast
Image Digitization
• Acquisition is done by a physical device that is sensitive to the light from the
object we wish to image.
In digital camera, the sensors produce an electrical output proportional
to light intensity.
• Reflected responses from all the spatial positions of the object are caught by
a sensor, a CCD or a Vidicon camera and transformed into the equivalent
analog electrical signals by a photoelectric detector in the imaging system.
Image Digitization
Sampling
• sampling = the spacing of discrete values in the domain of a signal.
• sampling-rate = how many samples are taken per unit of each dimension.
e.g., samples per second, frames per second, etc.
Quantization
• Quantization = spacing of discrete values in the range of a signal.
• usually thought of as the number of bits per sample of the signal. e.g., 1 bit
per
pixel (b/w images), 16-bit audio, 24-bit color images, etc.

Light-intensity function
• the amplitude of f at spatial coordinates (x,y) gives the intensity (brightness) of the
image at that point.
<0 f ( x, y) < ∞
the amount of source light incident on the scene being viewed Ö Illumination,i(x,y)
the amount of light reflected by the objects in the scene Ö Reflectance, r(x,y)
f ( x, y) = i( x,y)r ( x, y)
0 < i( x, y) < ∞
determined by the nature of the light source 0 < r ( x, y) < 1
determined by the nature of the objects in a scene Ö bounded from total
absorption to total reflectance.
Gray level
Resolution
• Resolution (how much you can see the detail of the image) depends on sampling
and gray levels.
• the bigger the sampling rate (n) and the gray scale (g), the better the approximation
of the digitized image from the original.
• the more the Sampling scale becomes, the bigger the size of the digitized image.
Checkerboard effect
a) 1024x1024
(b) 512x512
(c) 256x256
(d) 128x128
(e) 64x64
(f) 32x32
if the resolution is decreased too much, the checkerboard
effect can occur.
False contouring
(a) Gray level = 16
(b) Gray level = 8
(c) Gray level = 4
(d) Gray level = 2
Time-Varying Signals
Spatially-Varying Signals
• for monochromatic images, the value of the function is the amount of light
at that point.
• medical CAT and MRI scanners produce images that are functions of 3
spatial dimensions:
f(x,y,z)
