Image processing
Two key application areas have sparked interest in digital image processing techniques: improving pictorial information for human interpretation and processing image data for storage, transmission, and representation for autonomous machine perception.
Abstract
Image processing entails altering an image's composition to enhance its graphical content for human interpretation and autonomous machine perception. Digital image processing is a subset of the electronic domain in which an image is transformed into a collection of tin y numbers, or pixels, that reflect a physical property, like s cene radiance, are stored in a digital memory, and are then processed by a computer or other digital hardware. Two key application areas have sparked interest in digital i mage processing techniques: improving pictorial information for human interpretation and processing image data for storage, transmission, and representation for autonomous machine perception. Boundaries are described by edges, and as edge detection i s one of the most challenging image processing tasks, it is an issue of fundamental significance .
