This document provides an overview of digital image processing. It defines an image as a 2D function where the amplitude at each point represents intensity. Images are represented as 2D matrices of pixels. Image processing involves acquiring an image, preprocessing it, and performing operations at different levels. Low-level operations include acquisition, enhancement, and compression. Middle-level operations are segmentation and feature extraction. High-level operations involve pattern classification, identification and clustering. The goal is to extract useful information or enhance the image.

Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing Image Processing Image Objective Image processing is a method to convert an image into An image is defined as 2D function, F(x,y), & the amplitude digital form and perform some operations on it, in order of F at any pair of coordinates is called the intensity of that to get an enhanced image or to extract some useful image at that point. When x,y, and amplitude values of F are informations. finite, we call it a digital image. Fundamental Steps Images are 2D signals represented in 2D matrix form. •Each element of matrix is known as pixels. •Each pixel is associated with some value that represents intensity at that point. •Image is two dimensional (2D) signal f(x,y)
Image Processing Operations
Low Level Operation : Image acquisition , preprocessing, and compression. Image Acquisition: An image is captured by a sensor such as a monochrome or color TV camera and digitized. Image Enhancement: To bring out detail or simply to highlight certain features of interest in an image. Middle Level Operation: Segmentation and feature extraction
High Level Operation: Pattern
Classification (Identification of object; classification and clustering. Image Restoration: Improving the appearance of an image, based on probabilistic mathematical model of image degradation. Image Segmentation: Partitioning of the image into its various segments or to separate objects from the mage backgrounds.
Image Compression: Reducing the storage required to save image.
Representation & Description Morphological Operation: Tools for extracting component that are useful in representation & description of shape.
