Application of Image Processing
In present time Application of digital Image processing or application of digital image processing are there almost in every field. In this tutorial we will learn about various applications of digital image processing.
Digital image processing consist of various types of techniques or methods that are applied on an image to make it more suitable as per the application requirement.
Application of digital image processing are listed below –
- Image Enhancement
- Image Restoration
- Medical Filed
- Pattern Recognition
- Video Processing
- Computer Vision
What is an Image ?
Image consists of pixels or image can be defined as combination of pixels.
Mathematically an Image can be expressed as two dimensional function F(x,y). In context to pixel (x ,y) is the coordinate location of pixel and F is the amplitude value of the pixel.
Amplitude value is also known as intensity level of the pixel.
Application of Digital Image Processing
Various application of digital image processing are as follow –
Image Enhancement
The process of improving the quality of an image is known as Image Enhancement.
In image enhancement process we perform various operations such as different types of transformation on the pixel of the given image.
Image enhancement techniques in digital image processing are classified in two categories which are listed here –
- Image enhancement in Spatial Domain
- Image enhancement in Frequency Domain
Image Restoration
Image Restoration is the process of obtaining the original image from a degraded image. In Image processing application various types of image restoration functions are used.
Medical Field
The common application of image processing in the field of medical are as follow
- Gamma ray imaging
- PET scan
- X Ray Imaging
- Medical CT
- UV imaging
Pattern Recognition
Pattern Recognition is a part of image processing that involves the study of image processing along with use of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Some example of pattern recognition based application are computer-aided diagnosis, handwriting recognition and images recognition can be easily implemented.
Video Processing
Video is basically a fast movement of images. Various image processing techniques are used in Video Processing.
Some methods of image processing used in Video Processing are noise removal, image stabilization, frame rate conversion, detail enhancement, and much more.
Computer / Machine Vision
One of the most interesting and useful applications of Image Processing is in Computer Vision.
Computer Vision can also be seem as high level image processing. Computer vision is used to make the computer see, identify things, and process the whole environment as a whole.
An important use of Computer Vision is Self Driving cars, Drones etc.
Computer vision helps in obstacle detection, path recognition, and understanding the environment.
Conclusion and Summary
- In this post we have discussed top 6 application of digital image processing used in real life in present time.
- Applications of digital image processing are generally asked in technical interview some time.
