The ubiquitous image

Page 2: Introduction

What are Images? Images are pictures!

A picture that represents visual information.

What are Digital Images? An image that can be stored in digital form How are digital images acquired (generated)?

scanner digital camera software

How are digital images stored (saved)? In memory using a specific file format

PNG/GIF/JPEG/…

Page 4: Introduction

What is Digital Image Processing? Digital image processing: the field of study

that seeks to analyze or enhance a digital image.

Examples: Improving the contrast of a picture Applying noise-reduction filters to make the

image clearer Eliminating red-eye Cropping or rotating an image

Page 5: Introduction

What are the benefits of Digital Images?Contrast “digital” and “non-digital” images

Task Non Digital DigitalCreation Rough approximation

of realityAccurate approximation of reality

Editing Difficult: erase, over-paint, chisel, …

Easier: use a photo editing suite

Quality over time Degrades with exposure to light and environment

No degradation

Copying Slow process yields inexact copies

Fast process yields exact copies

Transmission Slow Fast

Applications: Medicine Non-invasive 3D imaging of internal physical structure

Computed tomography (CT) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) X-Rays

Physicians must be knowledgeable of image processing as it relates to the display and interpretation of the visual data

Page 11: Introduction

Applications: Biology Biology: a natural science that studies living organisms

Includes a vast array of specialized sub disciplines such as botany, zoology, cell biology, microbiology and biochemistry.

Each of these disciplines relies to some degree on sophisticated computing systems to acquire and analyze image-based data

Biologists must be knowledgeable of image processing as it relates to the acquisition of image-based data and the automation of image-based analysis

Applications: Biometrics Biometrics: seeks to verify the identity of

individuals by measuring and analyzing biological characteristics such as fingerprints, voice patterns, gait, facial appearance or retinal scans.

In most of these techniques, with the exception of voice recognition, the biological traits are obtained by analysis of a digital image

Page 13: Introduction

Applications: Environmental Science Environmental science includes meteorology,

oceanography, ecology and geosciences. Each of these disciplines relies on satellite

imaging and remote sensing

Professional Sports Football (American)

Uses instant replay from multiple angles to determine possession, in/out bounds

Telecasts project down markers on the field

Tennis and Major League Baseball (America) use cameras to track ball trajectories

Page 15: Introduction

Applications: Astronomy Heavy reliance on digital imaging.

Compton Gamma Ray Observatory captures digital images primarily in the gamma ray spectrum

Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (also known as the Spitzer Space Telescope) provide coverage of the x-ray and infrared portions of the spectrum respectively.

The Hubble Telescope, launched in 1990, orbits the earth with a reflector style optics system and a mirror of 2.4 meters in diameter. The focal length is 57.6 meters and it is able to take infrared images as well as images in the visible spectrum
