  1. IT523 Digital Image Processing Prof. Asim Banerjee Lecture 2 2nd August 2007

  2. What is an Image? • Image is a two dimensional light-intensity function, f(x,y), where the value of f at a spatial location (x,y) is the intensity of the image at that point. NOTE: The function f(x,y) can be a measure of the reflected light (photography), X-ray attenuation (X-Rays) or any other physical parameter. IT523 - Digital Image Processing

  3. What is a DigitalImage? • Digital Image is obtained by sampling and quantizing the function f(x,y). • Thus a digital image is discrete in time and quantized in amplitude. Question:- What are the issues that one has to take care of in converting an image to its digital form? IT523 - Digital Image Processing

  4. What is Digital Image Processing? • Digital Image Processing (DIP) involves processing the digital image (using the computer) to extract meaningful information from the images. NOTE: The meaningful information is dependent on the application. IT523 - Digital Image Processing

  5. Why is DIP Important? • Importance of Digital Image Processing stems from two principal application areas • Improvement of pictorial information for human interpretation • Processing of scene data for autonomous machine perception IT523 - Digital Image Processing

  6. 1. Improvement … Human Interpretation • Involves selection of printing procedures and distribution of brightness levels • Improvements on processing methods for transmitted digital pictures • Application areas include • Archeology • Astronomy • Biology • Industrial Applications • Law enforcements • Medical Imaging • Space program etc. IT523 - Digital Image Processing

  7. 2. Processing…Machine Perception • Focuses on procedures for extracting from an image information in a form suitable for computer processing NOTE : Often this information bears little resemblance to visual features that human beings use in interpreting the content of an image. • Application areas include: • Automatic Optical Character Recognition • Machine vision for product assembly and inspection • Military recognizance • Automatic fingerprint matching etc. IT523 - Digital Image Processing
