Robotic Vision: CRICOS No. 00213J

This document introduces image processing techniques for robotic vision. It explains that an image is represented as a matrix of numbers in a computer. Image processing transforms images to extract meaningful information for robots. Some fundamental techniques discussed are enhancing contrast, reducing resolution, and highlighting specific features like lines, colors, shapes to help robots with their tasks.

Robotic Vision

Lecture 3
Introduction
In the last lecture we learned how to import a digital image into a computer and we learned that an
image inside a computer is just a big bunch of numbers. More precisely it's a rectangular array of
numbers which we can consider to be a matrix. Now getting the image into the computer is just the
first step. We need to manipulate this image in various ways so that we can extract the information
from that image which is sufficient to hand across to a robot to allow it to do its job. So in this lecture
and the next one, we're going to learn about some fundamental ways to transform images so as to help
us in the process of extracting meaning.
These techniques fall into a category which is called image processing, which is how we take one image
and transform it into a different image which helps us in our task of extracting that meaning. So the
sorts of transformations that we would be interested in considering are; how do we enhance the
contrast of an image? How do we reduce the resolution of an image? How do we highlight horizontal
lines in an image or how do we highlight vertical lines in an image? Or how do we highlight things that
are red or that are green or that are blue. So these are some fundamental techniques that will help us in
our journey of equipping robots with vision.
