In technical images, image intensity is reflects an objective quantity In astronomy, intensity reflects energy per sterradian In transmission microscopy, intensity is a function of amount of absorbing material on a ray passing through an object In most images, image intensity is a feature that allows us to infer the presence of objects in a scene. For human vision, the image is reflected by ‘intensity’ and ‘color’. Most of the time, intensity is much more important than color General Framework We compute a new image from an original image The most basic transformation is g(x, y) = T(f(x, y)) where f(x, y) is the gray value of the input image pixel, g(x, y) is the gray value of the input image pixel at the same locations, and T(?) is a function of a single (real) variable.
