Image Processing • manipulation of multidimensional signals image (photo) video CT, MRI
Image Processing • Why? – Coding/compression – Enhancement, restoration, reconstruction – Analysis, detection, recognition, understanding – Visualization
Part I: Image Transforms Original Image Fourier Transform Amplitude Phase
Part II: Image Enhancement Original Image High Pass Filtering
Part III: Image Restoration Distorted Image Restored Image
Distortion due to Camera Misfocus Original image Distorted image
Distortion due to Camera Misfocus Camera lens
Distortion due to motion Camera lens
Distortion due to Random Noise Original image Distorted image
Part IV: Image Compression • Signal-Processing Based: Encoder Compressed Representation H Decoder
Images are not directly amenable to computer analysis • Computers work with numerical (rather than pictorial) data. • An image must be converted to numerical form before processing by computer can commence. • Picture elements or pixels • Rectangular sampling grid • Brightness of the image
APPLICATIONS • Medical images • Satellite images • Astronomy • Radar images
Medical Images: UltrasoundFive-month Foetus (lungs, liver and bowel)
