Image processing
Image Processing is the science of enhancing an image in order to increase the image quality and to extract useful information from the image. It is generally used in machine vision applications as part of a data preprocessing step for a pattern recognition system. Image processing algorithms apply point, local, global operations on a digital image depending on the particular purpose, such as edge detection, high frequency noise elimination, contrast stretching. Images can be RGB color, greyscale or binary. There are a lot of professional image editing software (like Photoshop) which use basic or advanced image processing techniques for image enhancement. Another extension of the image processing is image analysis or image understanding which is also called as machine vision. There are a lot of resources, online books, courses on the web for digital image processing.
Some of the application areas of Image Processing are
- Character recognition
- Automated visual inspection
- Medical diagnosis
- Face recognition
- Machine Vision
- Fingerprint Identification
- Remote sensing
- Motion analysis
