The development of this image processing software will help editing process to be done effectively. It requires less space on hard disk; emphasizing only on the crucial image processing functions and the executable program will take less space.
2. The enlargement of an image is done if we want to see the finer details of the
image.The size of the image is increased but no blurring occurs.
In our software we have provided the enlargement by 1.2 times of the actual size.
Example:
Conclusion
Hence, the enlargement of an image is required if want to see the finer details of
an image. It is one of the basic function which is used when we capture images of
small sizes and want to see its larger size.
Enlargement
3. An image such as this represents a right hand. If we "flip" the image on a horizontal
axis, we arrive at an inverted hand:
Example:
Conclusion
Hence, the flipping of an image is required if we want to see an image up-down. It is
one of the basic functions which are used when we capture inverted pictures from
camera.
Flip
4. An image such as this represents a right hand. If we "mirror" the image on a
vertical axis, we arrive at left hand:
Example:
Conclusion
Hence, the mirroring of an image is required if one want to see an image left-right.
It is one of the basic functions which is used when we capture an image on the
mirror and we want to get the correct version of the image.

5. Gamma Correction maps a narrow range of grey scale values in to a wider range of
output values.
For gamma > 1 : It broadens the darker
region but at the same time will narrow up
the brighter region. i.e.The image will get
darker as gamma increases from 1
onwards.
For gamma < 1 : It broadens the brighter
region but at the same time will narrow
up the dark region. i.e.The image will get
brighter as gamma decreases.
Trying to reproduce colors accurately
also requires some knowledge of gamma
correction because varying the value of
gamma correction changes not only the
brightness, but also the ratios of red to
green to blue in a color image.
Conclusion Hence, Gamma Correction is used if we want to convert a dark
image into a brighter image.
Gamma Correction
6. PMF : helps us calculating the probability of each Example:
pixel value in an image.
CDF: gives us the cumulative sum of these values.
Further on , this CDF is multiplied by levels , to find
the new pixel intensities , which are mapped into
old values , and your histogram is equalized.
Conclusion
Hence, Histogram Equalization is used for enhancing
the appearance of images. Suppose we have an
image which is predominantly dark.Then its
histogram would be skewed towards the lower end
of the gray scale and all the image detail is
compressed into the dark end of the histogram.
If we cold âstretch outâ the gray levels at the dark
end to produce a more uniformly distributed
histogram then the image would become much
clearer.
Histogram Equalization
7. RGB images are composed of three
independent channels for red, green and
blue primary color components
CMYK images have four channels for
cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink
plates,
The formula used for converting
color
images to gray is
(11*R + 16*G + 5*B) /32
Color Filter and color to grey
8. The negative of an image with gray levels in the range [0, L-1] is obtained by using
the negative transformation, which is given by the expression
s = L - 1 - r. Example:
Conclusion
This type of processing is particularly suited for enhancing white or gray detail
embedded in dark regions of an image, especially when the black areas are
dominant in size.
Inversion
9. The Average (mean) filter smoothes image data, thus eliminating noise.
For example:
a1 a2 a3
a4 a5 a6 3x3 filter
a7 a8 a9 window
The average filter computes the sum of all pixels in the filter window and then
divides the sum by the number of pixels in the filter window:
Filtered pixel = (a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5 + a6 + a7 + a8 + a9) / 9
The median filter is a sliding-window spatial filter, but it replaces the center value
in the window with the median of all the pixel values in the window.
Filters
10. Conclusion
⢠the Max filter is a non-linear digital filtering technique, often used to find the
brightest points in an image.
⢠average filters are used for blurring ( removal of small details from an image)
and noise reduction.
â˘The median filter is a non-linear digital filtering technique, often used to remove
noise from images or other signals.
⢠the Min filter is a non-linear digital filtering technique, often used to find the
darkest points in an image.
Example of min filter

11. Smoothening can be performed using Mean Filters or Order Statistic Filters. It is
used to remove blurring.
ď§ Arithmetic mean filter
ď§ Geometric mean filter
ď§ Harmonic mean filter
ď§ Min filter
ď§ Max filter
ď§ Median filter
Sharpening is used to increase the contrast of an image.This can be achieved by
Contrast Stretching and Laplacian Operators.

12. An edge is a jump in intensity.
For Point Detection, we use the standard high pass mask and to ensure that
this mask detects only points and not lines we set a threshold value i.e., we say a
point has been detected at the location on which a mask is centered only if after
applying the mask
Let us consider the problem of detecting edges in the following one dimensional
signal. Here, we may intuitively say that there should be an edge between the 4th
and 5th pixels.
If the intensity difference is higher between the 4th and the 5th pixels than
we easily identify the edge.
Point and Edge Detection
13. ⢠Morphology is used to extract image structures that are helpful in representing
regions and shapes.
⢠Erosion process will allow thicker lines to get skinny and detect the hole .
⢠In dilation process lightly drawn get thick in the image.
⢠Opening essentially removes the outer tiny "hairline" leaks and restores the text
in image. It isolates the objects which may be just touching one another.
⢠Closing eliminates small holes and tends to fuse narrow breaks.
Example of closing:

14. Color Based Segmentation
Color based segmentation basically reduces the color range and replaces the
whole range with a specific representative color of that range.
Seed Point based Segmentation
Here segmentation is performed using seed points to segment the image into
regions having color similar to the seed points.
Example of seed point based segmentation:
Segmentation
15. Fourier Transform
The Fourier Transform is an important image processing tool which is used to
decompose an image into its sine and cosine components.
The output of the transformation represents the image in the Fourier or
frequency domain, while the input image is the spatial domain equivalent.
In the Fourier domain image, each point represents a particular frequency
contained in the spatial domain image.
The Fourier Transform is used in a wide range of applications, such as image
analysis, image filtering, image reconstruction and image compression.
16. Image Stitching
A panorama is simply a wide angle view of a physical view.
There are so many map projections to arrange the stitched images.We used
rectilinear projections to project the resulting image. In rectilinear
projections images are viewed on two dimensional planes.
17. Algorithm Used for Stitching
1) Compute homography between images (using surf detectors)
use the cv::SurfFeatureDetector in interface
Use cv::drawKeypoints OpenCV function to show the scale factor
associated with each feature
2) Project one corners image using estimated homography to have an
estimate of the warped images ()
using homography.ProjectPoints() function.
3) Create an image with size equal to the one computed in step 2.
4) Warp image according to homography (all pixels of an image and the result
will be to transform this image to the other view.)
using warp perspective function.
