Nature of Image Processing and Fundamental Components With Diagram
Nature of Image Processing: Image processing involves transforming and analyzing images
to extract useful information or to enhance their visual quality. The term 'image' in this
context refers to image data that has been sampled, quantized, and is ready for processing by
digital computers.
• Page 17: Digital Image Processing Operations which covers Image Enhancement,
Image Restoration, Image Compression, Image Analysis, and Image Synthesis.
2. Modes of Acquiring an Image in Image Processing
• Pages 2-3: Discuss different modes of acquiring images: Reflective mode, Emissive
type, and Transmissive imaging.
1. Ease of Post-Processing: Digital images can be easily edited and corrected using
software.
2. Storage Convenience: Digital images can be stored in digital memory, requiring less
physical space.
3. Easy Transmission: Digital images can be shared over networks, facilitating easy
distribution.
4. Environment-Friendly: Digital imaging eliminates the need for chemical processes
used in traditional film photography.
5. User-Friendly: Digital cameras and processing tools are easy to operate.
1. Computer Graphics: Image processing deals with raster data (bitmaps), while
computer graphics primarily handle vector data.
2. Digital Signal Processing (DSP): DSP focuses on one-dimensional signals, whereas
image processing deals with two-dimensional visual data.
3. Machine Vision: Uses image processing techniques to interpret images and extract
properties for further analysis.
4. Multimedia: Image processing is integral to multimedia, which includes audio,
video, graphics, and animation.
5. Optics: Optical image processing involves lenses, lighting conditions, and associated
optical circuits.
6. Statistics: Essential for image analysis and extraction of object information from
images.
7. Video Processing: Extends image processing to moving images or video.
• Pages 9-11: Discuss the relationship between image processing and other fields like
computer graphics, DSP, machine vision, multimedia, optics, and statistics.
