Some Basic Relationships Between Pixels • Pixel Apixel has a location (the spatial coordinate) and a value. • Connected component of S: The set of all pixels in S that are connected to a given pixel in S. • Region of an image • Contour of a region • Edge: Edge is a path of one or more pixels that separate two regions of significantly different gray levels.
Image Enhancement in the Spatial Domain
A mathematical representation of spatial domainenhancement: where f(x, y): the input image g(x, y): the processed image T: an operator on f, defined over some neighborhood of (x, y) Background

Histogram Equalization • Histogram equalization: • To improve the contrast of an image • To transform an image in such a way that the transformed image has a nearly uniform distribution of pixel values • Transformation function T(r) (continuous case)
Histogram Equalization • In discrete version: • The probability of occurrence of gray level rk in an image is n : the total number of pixels in the image nk : the number of pixels that have gray level rk L : the total number of possible gray levels in the image • The transformation function is • Thus, an output image is obtained by mapping each pixel with level rk in the input image into a corresponding pixel with level sk.
Transformation functions (1) through (4) were obtained form the histograms of the images in Fig 3.17(1), using Eq. (3.3-8). Histogram Equalization
Basics of Spatial Filtering • In spatial filtering (vs. frequency domain filtering), the output image is computed directly by simple calculations on the pixels of the input image. • Spatial filtering can be either linear or non-linear. • For each output pixel, some neighborhood of input pixels is used in the computation. • In general, linear filtering of an image f of size MXN with a filter mask of size mxn is given by where a=(m-1)/2 and b=(n-1)/2 • This concept called convolution. Filter masks are sometimes called convolution masks or convolution kernels.

Image Enhancement in the Frequency Domain
The frequency domain refers to the plane of the two dimensional discrete Fourier transform of an image. The purpose of the Fourier transform is to represent a signal as a linear combination of sinusoidal signals of various frequencies. Background
