Parts of image processing are discussed--specifically: the mathematical operations one is likely to encounter, and ways of implementing them by optics and on digital computers; image description; and image quality evaluation.

Abstract

Image processing techniques find applications in many areas, chief among which are image enhancement, pattern recognition, and efficient picture coding. Some aspects of image processing are discussed--specifically: the mathematical operations one is likely to encounter, and ways of implementing them by optics and on digital computers; image description; and image quality evaluation. Many old results are reviewed, some new ones presented, and several open questions are posed.
