Image Sensing & Acquisition
Continues image
f(x,y) needs to be
in digital form.
Digitizing the
coordinate values
called sampling.
Sampling should
be in both
coordinates and
in amplitude.
Image Sampling
Image Sampling & quantization
Sampling limits
established by no. of
sensors, but quantization
limits by color levels.
Image Quantization
Image Sampling & quantization
• Spatial resolution:
- # of samples per unit length or area.
- Lines and distance: Line pairs per unit distance.
Isopreference Curve
Image Sampling & quantization
1- Neighbors of a Pixel:
P
The 4- neighbors of pixel p are:
N4(p)
P
The 4- diagonal neighbors are:
ND(p)
The 8-neighbors are : P
N8(p)
Relationship Between Pixels
8-adjacent, m-adjacent
Relationship Between Pixels
8-adjacent, m-adjacent
Relationship Between Pixels
Distance Measures
• for pixel p, q and z with coordinates
(x,y), (s,t) and (u,v) respectively,
• D is a distance function or metric if
� (a) D(p,q) ≥ 0 ; D(p,q) = 0 iff D=q
� (b) D(p,q) = D(q,p)
� (c) D(p,z) ≤ D(p,q) + D(q,z)
Relationship Between Pixels
Distance Measures:
1- The Euclidean distance between p and q is
defined as:
Relationship Between Pixels
Distance Measures:
2- The D4 distance (city-block distance) between p
and q is defined as:
Relationship Between Pixels
Distance Measures:
3- The D8 distance (chessboard distance) between p
and q is defined as
Relationship Between Pixels
Distance Measures:
4- The Dm distance: the shortest m-path between the
points.
