What is a Digital Image?
 A digital image is a numeric representation (normally binary) of a
two-dimensional image, called picture elements or pixels
PIXEL
 It is the smallest
controllable element of an
image.
 More pixels then more
clearer the image
 Pixels have different
intensity values
 Common image Color-type include:
1 sample per point (B&W or Grayscale)
3 samples per point (Red, Green, and Blue)
For most of this presentation we will focus on
greyscale images.
Introduction
Digital Image Processing is
Processing images which are digital in nature.
Introduction
 Why do we need Image Processing?
 It is motivated by 2 major applications:
(i) Improvement of pictorial information for human
perception.
(ii) Image processing for autonomous machine
application.
(iii) Efficient storage & transmission.
The continuum from image processing to computer vision can be
broken up into low-, mid- and high-level processes
Low Level Process
Input: Image
Output: Image
Examples: Noise
removal, image
sharpening
Mid Level Process
Input: Image
Output: Attributes
Examples: Object
recognition,
segmentation
High Level Process
Input: Attributes
Output: Understanding
Examples: Scene
understanding,
autonomous navigation
Introduction
Improvement of pictorial information for human
interpretation and analysis.
Typical applications:
 Noise filtering
 Content Enhancement
 Contrast enhancement
 Deblurring
 Remote sensing

Examples: Image
Enhancement
One of the most common uses of DIP techniques: improve quality,
remove noise etc
Examples: Industrial
Inspection:
Human operators are expensive, slow
and
unreliable
Make machines do the
job instead
Industrial vision systems
are used in all kinds of industries
Can we trust them?
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
Examples: PCB Inspection
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) inspection
 Machine inspection is used to determine that all
components are present and that all solder joints are
acceptable
 Both conventional imaging and x-ray imaging are used
Examples: Artistic Effects
Artistic effects are used to
make images more visually
appealing, to add special effects
and to make composite images
Examples: The Hubble
Telescope
Launched in 1990 the Hubble
telescope can take images of
very distant objects
However, an incorrect mirror
made many of Hubble’s
images useless
Image processing
techniques were
used to fix this
Examples: HCI
Try to make human computer interfaces
more natural
 Face recognition
 Gesture recognition
Does anyone remember the
user interface from “Minority Report”?
These tasks can be extremely difficult
