T I T L E
One picture is worth more than ten thousand words. Anonymous Interest in digital image processing methods stems from two principal application areas: improvement interpretation of pictorial information for human
processing of image data for storage, transmission and representation for autonomous machine perception.
DIGITAL IMAGE
PROCESSING
An image may be defined as a two-dimensional function, f(x,y). where x and y are known as spatial coordinates and function f for a particular pair (x, y) is called the intensity or gray level of the image at that point.
A digital image is composed of a finite number of elements, each of which has a particular location and value. Location = (x ,y)
Value = f(x,y)
These elements are called picture elements, image elements, pels, and pixels. Pixel is the term used most widely to denote the elements of a digital image.
refers to the processing of Digital image processing digital images by means of a digital computer by applying some function to change the value (f(x,y) ) of the pixel to obtain a different function value f(x-1,y--1) f(x,y-1) f(x+1,y-1)
f(x-1,y)
f(x,y)
f(x+1,y)
f(x-1,y+1)
f(x,y+1)
f(x+1,y+1)
When represented as discrete form / numbers, brightness can be added, subtracted, multiplied, divided, and i.e. the image can be manipulated which was not possible if the image was represented as a photograph.

WHY
DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING
We humans are limited to the visual band of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum.
Machines imaging is needed that cover almost the entire EM spectrum, ranging from gamma to radio waves. They can operate on images generated by sources that humans are not accustomed to associating with images. These include ultrasound, electron microscopy, and computer-generated images.
Machine generated imaging may not always be of good quality or we may be interested only in some of the region of the image or some distortion may occur. If the images are left distorted, it would render any data extraction from the distorted image.

STEPS
IN
IMAGE PROCESSING
The aim of image enhancement is to improve the interpretability or perception of information in images for human viewers, or to provide `better' input for other automated image processing techniques.
Image enhancement techniques can be divided into: Spatial domain methods, which operate directly on pixels frequency domain methods, which operate on the Fourier transform of an image.
Histogram Equalization
Histogram of an image represents the relative frequency of occurrence of various gray levels in the image
3000
2500
2000
1500
1000
500
Suppose an image is predominantly dark. Then its histogram would be skewed towards the lower end of the grey scale and all the image detail is compressed into the dark end of the histogram.

DISSERTATION CATEGORY
There is a broad area of dissertation as provided by the esteemed university. This topic Digital Image Enhancement focuses on different techniques that are used for image processing /image enhancement. The word digital is emphasizes the processing of digital image by using digital computers. Digital images composed of finite no. of elements and the processing /enhancement function is applied on these elements only. This project comes under the category of Digital Image Processing and Computer graphics This gives a detailed study and analysis of different image enhancement techniques.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENT: Intel Pentium IV Processor or above RAM size 512 MB minimum. Hard Disk 40 GB minimum.
