Importance area of Image Processing + Almost in every field, digital image processing puts a live effect on things and is growing with time to time and with new technologies. + 1) Image sharpening and restoration :-It refers to the process in which we can modify the look and feel of an image. It basically manipulates the images and achieves the desired output. It includes conversion, sharpening, blurring, detecting edges, retrieval, and recognition of images. + 2) Medical Field :-There are several applications under medical field which depends on the functioning of digital image processing. a.Gamma-ray imaging b. PET scan c. X-Raylmaging — d.Medical CT scan e..UV imaging + 3) Robot vision + There are several robotic machines which work on the digital image processing. Through image processing technique robot finds their ways, for example, hurdle detection root and line follower robot. * 4) Pattern recognition :-It involves the study of image processing, it is also combined with artificial intelligence such that computer-aided diagnosis, handwriting recognition and images recognition can be easily implemented. Now a days, image processing is used for pattern recognition. + 5) Video processing:-It is also one of the applications of digital image processing. A collection of frames or pictures are arranged in such a way that it makes the fast movement of pictures. It involves frame rate conversion, motion detection, reduction of noise and color space conversion etc.Whatis an Image * An image is a visual representation of something i.e. object, any scene, while a digital image is a binary representation of visual data. These images can take the form of photographs, graphics and individual video frames. For this purpose, an image is a picture that was created or copied and stored in electronic form. * What is Digital Image :- An digital image is a function that consists of two real variables, coordinates x and y. This function represents the brightness (or color) at a point with the coordinates x and y. Usually, x and y refer to the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. * A digital image is a representation of a two-dimensional image as a finite set of digital values, which are called pixels. The digital image contains a fixed number of rows and columns of pixels. The function f(x,y) must be nonzero and finite, that is: oO = 6&3.) =* What is Digital image Processing:- * Digital Image Processing means processing digital image by means of a digital computer. We can also say that it is a use of computer algorithms, in order to get enhanced image either to extract some useful information. * Digital image processing is the use of algorithms and mathematical models to process and analyze digital images. The goal of digital image processing is to enhance the quality of images, extract meaningful information from images, and automate image-based tasks. * Digital Image is composed of a finite number of elements, each of which elements have a particular value at a particular location. These elements are referred to as picture elements, image elements and pixels.Pixel value(0) OAs we know that each pixel has a unique value. 0 is a unique value that means the absence of light. It means that 0 is used to denote dark. OFor example: We have a matrix of 3X3 of an image, and each pixel is of value as shown below v)o |e vpole vfolfe © It means the image formed is of 9 pixels which are black. © The image would be something as abovePixel value(0) OAs we know that each pixel has a unique value. 0 is a unique value that means the absence of light.

Bits: A bit also known as a binary digit is the smallest unit of data in a computer. A bit has 0 or 1.
