Study Notes

Digital Image Fundamentals

Digital image processing uses computers to process digital images, defined by a finite number of elements called pixels.
Pixels represent brightness or color in a two-dimensional function, with spatial coordinates (x, y) determining location.
Color images are typically composed of three monochrome images (red, green, blue) processed individually using RGB color systems.

Image Sampling and Quantization

Digital images may be continuous in both coordinates and amplitude, requiring digitization to convert to a digital format.
Sampling involves measuring color or brightness at discrete points in an image.

Applications of Digital Image Processing

Remote sensing using satellite imagery for tracking resources, geographical mapping, and environmental monitoring.
Medical applications, including processing X-rays, angiograms, and tomograms.
Image transmission and storage in broadcasting, teleconferencing, and security systems.
Utilized in robotics for automated inspections in industrial environments.

Image Processing Toolbox (IPT)

IPT extends MATLAB's capabilities, providing functions for easy image processing operations.
Software prototyping in IPT makes it ideal for solving diverse image processing problems.
