DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING
Image processing is a method to perform some operations on an
image, in order to get an enhanced image or to extract some useful
information from it.
Low-Level Processes:
Input and output are images
Mid-Level Processes:
Inputs, generally, are images. Outputs are attributes
extracted from those images (edges, contours,
identity of individual objects)
Tasks:
Segmentation (partitioning an image into regions or
objects)
Description of those objects to reduce them to a form
suitable for computer processing
Classifications (recognition) of objects
Computerized Processes Types
High-Level Processes:
Image analysis of attributes and computer vision
Object recognition

Components of an Image
Processing System
1. Image Sensors
Two elements are required to acquire digital
images. The first is the physical device that
is sensitive to the energy radiated by the
object we wish to image (Sensor). The
second, called a digitizer, is a device for
converting the output of the physical
sensing device into digital form.

Processing System
2. Specialized Image Processing Hardware
Usually consists of the digitizer, mentioned before, plus
hardware that performs other primitive operations, such
as an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), which performs
arithmetic and logical operations in parallel on entire
images.

Spatial and gray-level resolution
Sampling is the principal factor used to
determine the spatial resolution of an image.
Effect of spatial resolution
Aliasing and Moire Patterns
Shannon sampling theorem tells us that, if
the function is sampled at a rate equal to or
greater than twice its higest frequency(fs≥fm )
it is possible to recover completely the
original function from the samples.
If the function is undersampled, then a
phenonmemnon called alising(distortion) (If
two pattern or spectrum overlap, the
overlapped portion is called aliased) corrupts
the sampled image. The corruption is in the
form of additional frequency components
being introduced into the sampled function.
These are called aliased frequencies.
The principal approach for reducing the
aliasing effects on an image is to reduce its
highfrequency components by blurring the
image prior to sampling. However, aliasing is
always present in a sampled image. The
effect of aliased frequencies can be seen
under the right conditions in the form of so
called Moiré patterns.
