what is image processing

what is image processing
In imaging scienceimage processing is processing of images using mathematical operations by using any form of signal processing for which the input is an image, a series of images, or a video, such as a photograph or video frame; the output of image processing may be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image.[1] Most image-processing techniques involve treating the image as a two-dimensional signal and applying standard signal-processing techniques to it. Images are also processed as three-dimensional signals with the third-dimension being time or the z-axis.


Image analysis
Image analysis is the extraction of meaningful information from images; mainly from digital images by means of digital image processing techniques.[1] Image analysis tasks can be as simple as reading bar coded tags or as sophisticated as identifying a person from their face.
computer Image Analysis
Computer Image Analysis largely contains the fields of computer or machine vision, and medical imaging, and makes heavy use of pattern recognitiondigital geometry, andsignal processing. This field of computer science developed in the 1950s at academic institutions such as the MIT A.I. Lab, originally as a branch of artificial intelligence androbotics.

Sharpening and softening images

Graphics programs can be used to both sharpen and blur images in a number of ways, such as unsharp masking or deconvolution.[2] Portraits often appear more pleasing when selectively softened (particularly the skin and the background) to better make the subject stand out.[citation needed] This can be achieved with a camera by using a large aperture, or in the image editor by making a selection and then blurring it. Edge enhancement is an extremely common technique used to make images appear sharper, although purists frown on the result as appearing unnatural

Selecting and merging of images

Many graphics applications are capable of merging one or more individual images into a single file. The orientation and placement of each image can be controlled.

Enhancing images

In computer graphics, the process of improving the quality of a digitally stored image by manipulating the image with software. It is quite easy, for example, to make an image lighter or darker, or to increase or decrease contrast. Advanced photo enhancement software also supports many filters for altering images in various ways.[1] Programs specialized for image enhancement are sometimes called image editors.
