    Study Notes

    Introduction to Computer Vision and Image Processing

    • Computer vision enables machines to interpret visual information like images and videos, mimicking human vision. Applications include object detection, facial recognition, and scene understanding.
    • Image processing focuses on enhancing image quality or extracting information, often as a pre-processing step for computer vision. Techniques include filtering, noise reduction, and color adjustments.
    • Image processing manipulates pixel-level data, while computer vision interprets higher-level meaning.

    Fundamental Concepts

    • Digital images are composed of pixels, the smallest units of information.
    • Resolution measures pixel count affecting image quality.
    • Color models, like RGB, Grayscale, and CMYK, define color representation.
    • Image acquisition involves capturing images from devices such as cameras or sensors.
    • Preprocessing prepares images for later analysis, including resizing, cropping, and noise reduction procedures.
    • Enhancement steps improve visual interpretation (e.g., adjusting contrast or sharpness).

    Core Techniques

    • Edge detection identifies boundaries (e.g., Canny, Sobel, Prewitt algorithms).
    • Segmentation divides images into meaningful regions (e.g., foreground separation using thresholding, clustering methods like K-means, or region-based methods).
    • Feature extraction identifies key characteristics, such as shapes, edges, and textures, from images, which aid classification or recognition tasks in machine learning and deep learning.

    Applications

    • Healthcare: Medical imaging analysis (X-rays, CT scans, MRI) for disease diagnosis and cellular analysis.
    • Automotive Industry: Self-driving cars use computer vision for lane detection, object recognition, and obstacle avoidance.
    • Surveillance and Security: Facial recognition and activity monitoring.
    • Retail and E-commerce: Image-based product search and augmented reality try-on features.
    • Other Emerging Trends: AI-powered vision systems in agriculture, manufacturing, and robotics.

    Image Types

    • Binary Images: Simplest type, using two values (black/white, 0/1). Commonly used for OCR and shape/outline identification.
    • Gray-Scale Images: Monochrome images with varying shades of gray, representing different intensity levels. Useful for medical imaging and astronomy.
    • Colour Images: Three-band monochrome images (RGB), with color information in each band, commonly used for general images.

    Image Processing Pipeline

    • Image Acquisition: Capturing the raw data from sensors or cameras.
    • Preprocessing: Cleaning or preparing images before analysis.
    • Image enhancement: Improving image quality through filtering, or adjusting contrast, brightness, or color.
    • Image restoration: Restoring damaged images by removing noise and blurring from images.
    • Feature Extraction: Isolating important characteristics to aid later analysis using techniques like edge detection and texture analysis.
    • Recognition/Detection: Identifying objects of interest in images, based on extracted features.

    Combined use of Image processing and Computer Vision

    • Image Processing often acts as a preprocessing step for computer vision (e.g., Image Enhancement → object detection)
