What Is Digital Image Processing?

• f(x,y): A two-dimensional function,
where x and y are spatial coordinates,
and the amplitude of f at any pair of
coordinates (x,y) is called the intensity or
gray level of the image at that point.
• x size: 662, y size: 640, gray levels: 256
• Digital image: x, y, and the amplitude
values of f are all finite, discrete
quantities

The Origins of Digital Image Processing

• One of the first applications of digital


images was in the newspaper industry,
when pictures were first sent by submarine
cable between London and New York.
• Better quality
• 15-tone equipment
 From computers, meaningful image
processing tasks appeared.
Image is every where
• Medical imaging
