INTRODUCTION TO IMAGE PROCESSING

• Image processing involves carrying out certain operations on an image


• to enhance that image
• to exact some valuable information from it.
STEPS OF IMAGE PROCESSING
The basic steps involved in image processing are:
• Using image tools to import the image
• Analysing and manipulating the image
• Generating an output which can be in the form of an altered image or a report based
on the analysis of the image
EXAMPLES OF IMAGE PROCESSING

• Machine/Robot vision
• Transmission & encoding
• Pattern recognition
TYPES OF IMAGE PROCESSING

The two types of methods that are used for image processing are
1. Analogue image processing
2. Digital image processing
TYPES OF IMAGE PROCESSING

Analogue image processing:


• Analogue image processing could be used to process hard copies like printouts and
photographs.
Digital image processing:
Digital image processing techniques are used to manipulate digital images with the use of
computers.
Phases
• Pre-processing
• Enhancement and display
• Information extraction
Digital image processing essentially involves processing digital images on a computer by making
use of an algorithm.
COMPUTER VISION & IMAGE PROCESSING

• Computer vision (CV) and image processing are two closely related fields
that utilize techniques from artificial intelligence (AI) and pattern recognition
to derive meaningful information from images, videos, and other visual inputs.
• Image processing algorithms are used to extract information from images,
restore and compress image and video data, and build new experiences in
virtual and augmented reality.
COMPUTER VISION & IMAGE PROCESSING
• Computer vision uses image processing to recognize and categorize image data.
• CV technology is being used across industries from healthcare and media to
gaming and transportation.
For example
• Vehicles use CV to track objects and surroundings and to enable driver
assistance system and autonomous navigation.
• Security systems use facial recognition and object detection in video
surveillance.
• Medical devices use image classification to identify and diagnose conditions.
• In sports, object and motion tracking is used to follow balls and players.
• Drones with sophisticated cameras are used in agriculture to monitor the health
and yield of crops.
PURPOSE OF IMAGE PROCESSING
Some of the common purposes for which image processing is used are:

• Visualizing: This involves processing images that have been captured on a camera to enhance
the image or to manipulate them in a manner to achieve a better result. This could involve
zooming, upscaling, blurring, sharpening, grayscale to color conversion, detecting edges, image
retrieval, and image recognition.

• Image sharpening and restoration: This is essentially the enhancement of noisy images.

• Image retrieval: This refers to high-resolution image search.

• Pattern recognition: This involves defining various objects in an image.


• Image recognition: This involves detecting objects in an image.
TECHNIQUES OF IMAGE PROCESSING
Here is a list of some widely used digital image processing techniques:

Hidden Markov models

Image editing

Anisotropic diffusion

Independent component analysis

Linear filtering

Principal components analysis


• Self-organizing maps
