Woods, Addison-Wesley, 2002 – Much of the material that follows is taken from this book •“Machine Vision: Automated Visual Inspection and Robot Vision”, David Vernon, Prentice Hall, 1991 – Available online at: homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/BOOKS/VERNON Course description • Digital image processing is a very wide field, sooo…
• …What will we study in 1 semester…?
• Just the basics you need to develop & implement
image processing & analysis algorithms. • Simplification: - only grey level images - only basic processing methods, • without their combination Exam grade information
• The graded elements of the course and their
contribution to the final grade are:
• Quizzes ,Labs, Capstone Project 25%
• Midterm Exam 15% • Final Examination 60% Contents This lecture will cover: – What is a digital image? – What is digital image processing? – History of digital image processing – Key stages in digital image processing - Components of an Image Processing System What is a Digital Image? (Image Formation) • A digital image is a representation of a two-dimensional image as a finite set of digital values, called picture elements or pixels
f(x,y) = reflectance(x,y) * illumination(x,y)
Sampling and Quantization Sampling and Quantization What is a Digital Image? (cont…) •Pixel values typically represent gray levels, colors, heights, opacities etc •Remember digitization implies that a digital image is an approximation of a real scene
1 pixel What is a Digital Image? (cont…) •Common image formats include: – 1 sample per point (B&W or Grayscale) – 3 samples per point (Red, Green, and Blue) – 4 samples per point (Red, Green, Blue, and “Alpha”, a.k.a. Opacity)
For most of this course we will focus on grey-scale images
?What is Digital Image Processing •Digital image processing focuses on two major tasks – Improvement of pictorial information for human interpretation . – Processing of image data for storage, transmission and representation for autonomous machine perception . •Some argument about where image processing ends and fields such as image analysis and computer vision start History of Digital Image Processing History of Digital Image Processing History of Digital Image Processing History of Digital Image Processing History of Digital Image Processing Examples of Fields that Use Digital Image Processing • Electromagnetic (EM) energy spectrum • Acoustic • Ultrasonic • Electronic • Synthetic images produced by computer Examples: Image Enhancement • One of the most common uses of DIP techniques: improve quality, remove noise etc Examples: Medicine •Take slice from MRI scan of canine heart, and find boundaries between types of tissue – Image with gray levels representing tissue density – Use a suitable filter to highlight edges Examples: Medical imaging applications Key Stages in Digital Image Processing Key Stages in Digital Image Processing:Image Aquisition Key Stages in Digital Image Processing: Image Enhancement Key Stages in Digital Image Processing: Image Restoration Key Stages in Digital Image Processing: Morphological Processing Key Stages in Digital Image Processing: Segmentation Key Stages in Digital Image Processing: Object Recognition Key Stages in Digital Image Processing: Representation & Description Key Stages in Digital Image Processing: Image Compression Key Stages in Digital Image Processing: Colour Image Processing Components of an Image Processing System
