DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING

INTRODUCTION
Processing of Images which are digital in nature by a Digital Computer

It is motivated by three major applications:

Improvement of pictorial information for human perception Image processing for autonomous machine application Efficient storage and transmission

Employs methods capable of enhancing pictorial information for human interpretation and analysis.

Typical applications:

Noise Filtering Content Enhancement

Contrast Enhancement Deblurring

Remote sensing

Filtered Image

Noisy Image

Low contrast Image

Enhanced Image

Defocussed

Blurred

De-Blurred

Motion Blurring

X-Ray Image

Angiography Image

Here the interest is on procedures of extraction of image formation suitable for computer processing Typical Applications:

Industrial Machine inspection.
