3. Image Enhancement
Purpose: Improves the visual appearance of an image for human interpretation.
Description: Adjusting brightness, contrast, and sharpening are common methods used
in this step.
4. Image Segmentation
Purpose: Divides the image into meaningful regions or objects for easier analysis.
Description: This step identifies boundaries or specific regions using techniques like
thresholding, edge detection, and clustering.
5. Feature Extraction
Purpose: Extracts important details or patterns from the image.
Description: Features such as edges, textures, or shapes are identified to represent the
image compactly for recognition tasks.
6. Image Representation and Description
Purpose: Represents processed data in a format suitable for machine analysis or
classification.
Description: Transforms raw data into descriptive formats like boundary representation
or feature vectors.
