PART1 19. Digital Image Processing Digital image processing generally refers to processing of a 2-dimensional picture using a digital computer?(as shown in Fig.R19-1). In abroader sense, it implies digital processing of any 2-dimensional data. A digital image is an array of real or complex numbers represented by a finite number of bits. An image given in the form of a transparency, slide, photograph, or chart is first digitized and stored as a matrix of binary digits in computer memory—an RAM of great capacity. This digitized image can then be processed and/or displayed on a high-resolution monitor which refreshes at 3D frames/s to produce a visibly continuous display. Mini-or Fig.R19-1 Digital Image Processing PART1 19. Digital Image Processing micro-computers are used to communicate and control all the digitization, storage, processing, and display operations via a computer network (such as the Ethernet). Program inputs to the computer are made through a terminal, and the outputs are available on a terminal, television monitor, or a printer. Digital image processing has a broad spectrum of applications, such as remote sensing via satellites and other spacecrafts, image transmission and storage for business applications, medicine, radar, sonar, and acoustic image processing, robotics, and automated inspection of industrial parts. Images acquired by satellites are useful in tracking of earth resources; geographical mapping; prediction of agricultural crops, urban growth, and weather; flood and fire control; and many other environmental applications. Space image applications include recognition and analysis of objects contained in images obtained from deep space-probe missions. Image transmission and storage applications occur in broadcast television, teleconferencing, transmission of facsimile images (printed documents and graphics) for office automation, PART1 19.
