Image processing is similar to signal processing where we interpret images as two dimensional signal and apply standard techniques of signal processing.
Why we need it?
It is very helpful in modern research where we need to work on complex experimental or scientific data which includes micro array data in genetic research, or real-time multiasset portfolio trading in finance.With improvement in computer power we can do much work in digital way instead of using traditional analog methods.
Before doing anything related to this subject, first you should know about image,
So, What is an Image?
It is two dimensional representation on screen which is also known as pixel representation where each pixel contains special information about image.So when we get image, it is broken into grid of pixels for digital processing.
Image can be represented in two ways:
Vector(Used in CAD)
Bitmap(Used in complex designs)
Uses:
Fingerprint retrieval
Industrial inspection
