Presented by:
Andres Alarcon Ramirez, PhD
Image Processing
• Encompass a set of techniques that enhance,
interpret, or filter an input image to create a
new output image with better characteristics.

Geographical Information Systems
•Geographic Information Systems
– Digital image processing techniques are used
extensively to manipulate satellite imagery
– Terrain classification
– Meteorology
Law Enforcement
•Image processing
techniques are used
extensively by law enforcers
– Number plate recognition
for speed
cameras/automated toll
systems
– Fingerprint recognition
– Enhancement of CCTV
images
Lidar Images for Cadastre
Industrial Inspection
• Human operators are
expensive, slow and
unreliable
• Make machines do
the job instead
• Industrial vision
systems
are used in all kinds of
industries
