image processing is any form of signal processing for which the input is an imag

e, such as a photograph or video frame;

the output of image processing may be either an image or, a set of characteristi
cs or parameters related to the image.
Most image-processing techniques involve treating the image as a two-dimensional
signal
and applying standard signal-processing techniques to it.

Image Acquisition-digital image acquisition is the creation of digital images, t

ypically from a physical scene.
The term is often assumed to imply or include the processing,compression, storag
e, printing, and display of such images.
Image Enhancement-Objective of enhancement is to process image so that result is
more suitable than original image for
specific application.
Enhancement approaches fall into two broad categories:
spatial domain : direct manipulation of pixels in an image
frequency domain : manipulation of fourier transform of an image.
Image Differencing-Image differencing is an image processing technique used to d
etermine changes between images. T
he difference between two images is calculated by finding the difference between
each pixel in each image,
and generating an image based on the result. For this technique to work,
the two images must first be aligned so that corresponding points coincide,
and their photometric values must be made compatible, either by careful calibrat
ion,
or by post-processing (using color mapping).
The complexity of the pre-processing needed before differencing varies with the
type of image.
Object Recognition-Object recognition in computer vision is the task of finding
a given object in an image
or video sequence
App-Face Detection
Optical Character Recognition

Color Image Processing-Contrast,Brightness,color Change

Morphing-Morphing is a special effect in motion pictures and animations that cha

nges (or morphs)
one image into another through a seamless transition
Segmentation-segmentation refers to the process of partitioning a digital image
into multiple segments
(sets of pixels, also known as superpixels). The goal of segmentation is to simp
lify and/or change
the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier
to analyze.
Image segmentation is typically used to locate objects and boundaries (lines, cu
rves, etc.) in images.
More precisely, image segmentation is the process of assigning a label to every
pixel in an image
such that pixels with the same label share certain visual characteristics.
image restoration:
A process by which a degraded image is restored to its original condition.
Image restoration is possible only to the extent that the degradation transform
is mathematically invertible.
