3. Introduction …
What Actually an IMAGE is ??
• An image is the two dimensional (2-D) picture that gives appearance
to a subject usually a physical object or a person.
Standard Image of ‘Einstein’
The size of the row (M) and column (N) gives the size (or resolution)
of M*N image. A small block ( 8 * 8 ) of the image is indicated at the
right corner in the form of matrix. Each element in the matrix
represents the dots of the image. Each dot represents the pixel value at
that position.
4. Digital Image Processing…
• Digital Image processing is processing of images using mathematical
operations.
• It is a subfield of signals and systems but focus particularly on images.
• For which the input is an image, such as a photograph or video frame and the
output of image processing may be either an image or a set of characteristics
or parameters related to the image ,using efficient algorithms.
• In digital Image processing operation typically defines a new image g in terms
of an existing image f.
• We can transform either the range of f.
Or the domain of f:
• The most common example is Adobe Photoshop. It is one of the widely used
application for processing digital images.
5. Digital Image Processing …
• Digitization implies that a digital image is an approximation of a real scene
7. Examples: Artistic Effects
Artistic effects are used to make images more visually appealing, to
add special effects and to make composite images
8. Examples: Medicine
Take slice from MRI scan of canine heart, and find boundaries between
types of tissue.
◦ Image with gray levels representing tissue density
◦ Use a suitable filter to highlight edges

9. Examples: GIS
Geographic Information Systems
◦ Digital image processing techniques are used extensively to
manipulate satellite imagery
◦ Terrain classification
◦ Meteorology
10. Examples: Law Enforcement
Image processing techniques are used extensively by law enforcers
◦ Number plate recognition for speed cameras/automated toll
systems
◦ Fingerprint recognition
◦ Enhancement of CCTV images
11. Examples: HCI
Try to make human computer interfaces more natural
◦ Face recognition
◦ Gesture recognition
