This document provides an overview of a lecture on digital image processing. It discusses grading criteria which includes article reading, homework, exams and practical work. Example article reading and project topics are listed covering areas like medical imaging and object recognition. Key stages of digital image processing are introduced including image acquisition, restoration, enhancement, representation and compression. References and an outline of topics to be covered are also provided such as the definition of digital images, sources of error and the history and applications of digital image processing.

This lecture will cover:
1. What is a digital image?
2. What is digital image processing?
3. History of digital image processing
4. State of the art examples of digital image
processing
5. Key stages in digital image processing
10. A digital image is a representation of a two-dimensional
image as a finite set of digital values, called picture
elements or pixels
1-What is a Digital Image?
11. Image Resolution
1. Intensity resolution
– Each pixel has only “Depth” bits for colors/intensities
1. Spatial resolution
– Image has only “Width” x “Height” pixels
1. Temporal resolution
– Monitor refreshes images at only “Rate” Hz
Width x Height Depth Rate
NTSC 640 x 480 8 30
Workstation 1280 x 1024 24 75
Film 3000 x 2000 12 24
Laser Printer 6600 x 5100 1 -
Typical
Resolutions
12. Sources of Error
1. Intensity quantization
– Not enough intensity resolution
1. Spatial aliasing
– Not enough spatial resolution
1. Temporal aliasing
– Not enough temporal resolution
E: denote to error
I(x,y): denote to original pixel value
P(x,y): denote to Processed pixel value
13. Pixel values typically represent gray levels, colours,
heights, opacities etc
Remember digitization implies that a digital image is an
approximation of a real scene
1 pixel
1-What is a Digital Image?
Pixel : The elements of a digital image
14. Common image formats include:
–1 sample per point (B&W or Grayscale)
–3 samples per point (Red, Green, and Blue)
–4 samples per point (Red, Green, Blue, and “Alpha”,
For most of this course we will focus on grey-scale
images

16. Low Level Process
Input: Image
Output: Image
Examples: Noise
removal, image
sharpening
Mid Level Process
Input: Image
Output: Attributes
Examples: Object
recognition,
segmentation
High Level Process
Input: Attributes
Output: Understanding
Examples: Scene
understanding,
autonomous navigation
process digital images by means of computer, it covers
low-, mid-, and high-level processes
low-level: inputs and outputs are images
mid-level: outputs are attributes extracted from input
images
high-level: an ensemble of recognition of individual
objects
2-What is a Digital Image Processing?
Real world is continuous – an image is simply a digital approximation of this.
Give the analogy of the character recognition system.
Low Level: Cleaning up the image of some text
Mid level: Segmenting the text from the background and recognising individual characters
High level: Understanding what the text says
