Study Notes

Digital Image Processing Course Outline

This course focuses on digital image processing using MATLAB.
The required textbooks are:
- Digital Image Processing Using MATLAB by Rafael Gonzalez and Richard Woods (3rd edition)
- Digital Image Processing by Rafael Gonzalez and Richard Woods (4th edition)
Understanding that digital images are representations of 3D scenes projected into 2D planes is key.
Each pixel in a digital image holds an intensity value representing the scene's brightness or color.

Types of Images

Binary Images: Represent images with only two values (black and white)
Grayscale Images: Represent images with varying levels of grayscale intensity, with values between 0 (black) and 255 (white).
RGB Color Images: Represent images with a combination of red, green, and blue channels, each channel representing a color intensity from 0 to 255, creating a total of 16 bits of information per pixel.
RGBA Images: Represent colored images with an additional "alpha" channel, determining the opacity of the RGB image, ranging from 0% (completely transparent) to 100% (completely opaque).

Obtaining a Digital Image

Digital images can be captured by various methods, including cameras, scanners, and other optical and non-optical sensors.

Phases of Image Processing

Image Processing involves various steps to enhance, restore, analyze, and extract information from digital images.
Image Acquisition: Captures and digitizes the image.
Image Enhancement: Improves the quality of the image to highlight relevant details by techniques like contrast and brightness adjustment.
Image Restoration: Addresses degraded images by removing noise, blur, or other imperfections.
Color Image Processing: Specifically focuses on handling colored images (RGB or RGBA).
Wavelets and Multi-Resolution Processing: Breaks down images into different resolutions using wavelets for compression and representation.
Image Compression: Reduces the size of an image while minimizing perceptible quality loss.
Morphological Processing: Uses mathematical operations (like erosion and dilation) to manipulate shape characteristics in images.
Image Segmentation: Divides an image into meaningful key parts using techniques like thresholding, edge detection, and region growing.
Object Detection and Recognition: Identifies and classifies objects in images using features and pattern recognition techniques.
Knowledge Base: Stores information and knowledge extracted during the image processing process.
