Study Notes
Image Processing
- Image processing involves analyzing and manipulating images.
- Key stages include data compression, image enhancement, and pattern identification.
- The output can be a transformed image or a report based on image analysis.
Image Processing Applications
- Visualization: Observe objects not visible to the naked eye (e.g., features in satellite photographs).
- Image Sharpening and Restoration: Creating a clearer image.
- Image Retrieval: Finding specific images.
- Pattern Measurement: Measuring objects within images.
- Image Recognition: Distinguishing objects in images.
Image Preprocessing
- Images are preprocessed before being processed with a camera.
- Preprocessing steps include noise reduction and brightness and contrast enhancement.
- Better preprocessing leads to improved final image results.
Image Types
- Original Image: Typically a grayscale image.
- Binary Image: Contains only black and white pixels.
- Histogram Image: Depicts the distribution of pixel values in an image.
- Edge Image: Emphasizes edges and boundaries within the image.
Pattern Matching
- Correlation pattern matching: Searching for similar pieces using pre-defined templates.
- Geometric pattern matching: Identifying patterns based on shape and geometric properties.
Image Processing Applications for Identification
- Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Recognizing text within images.
- Bar Code and 2D Matrix Code Reading: Decoding information from barcodes and 2D matrix codes.
- Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR): Recognizing license plates in images.
RGB Color Model
- The screen displays colors using a combination of red, green, and blue (RGB), with overlapping colors creating additional hues.
- Grayscale images, which use shades of gray, are the focus of this course.
Grayscale Conversion
- Different methods exist for converting images into grayscale.
