Unit 1: Digital Image Fundamentals
Title Slide: Digital Image Processing - Unit 1 Introduction and
Applications
Slide 1: What is Digital Image Processing? - Digital Image Processing
(DIP) is the use of computer algorithms to process images digitally. - Involves
steps like acquisition, enhancement, analysis, compression, and recognition.
- Input: Digital Image | Output: Processed Image or Information.
Slide 2: Why is Digital Image Processing Necessary? - To enhance
images for better human perception. - To extract information for machine
understanding. - To compress images for storage and transmission. - To
restore images damaged by noise or blur. - To detect and segment
objects in an image.
Slide 3: Real-Time Applications of DIP
Domain Applications
Medical Imaging MRI, CT Scan enhancement,
Cancer detection
Surveillance Face detection, License plate
recognition

Slide 4: Image Processing Flow 1. Image Acquisition 2. Preprocessing 3.
Segmentation 4. Feature Extraction 5. Recognition / Interpretation 6. Post-
processing / Output
Slide 5: Types of Image Processing - Analog Image Processing -
Performed on continuous signals (e.g., television signals). - Digital Image
Processing - Operates on digitized images using computers and algorithms.
Slide 6: Components of a DIP System - Image Sensor (Camera) - Digitizer
(ADC) - Image Processor (Computer/Processor) - Software (Algorithms) -
Display/Output Device
Slide 7: Interactive Session - Can you name apps that use DIP? - Have
you seen AR filters? Where? - What kind of images do doctors look at in a
hospital?
Slide 8: Summary - DIP is essential in today’s digital world. - Used in
multiple domains for enhancement, recognition, and automation. - Builds the
base for AI and computer vision systems.
