UPIICSA IPN - Binary image

Image processing is any form of information processing for which the input is an image, such as photographs or frames of video; the output is not necessarily an image, but can be for instance a set of features of the image. Most image-processing techniques involve treating the image as a two-dimensional signal and applying standard signal-processing techniques to it.

Besides static two-dimensional images, the field also covers the processing of time-varying signals such as video and the output of tomographic equipment. Some techniques, such as morphological image processing, are specific to binary or grayscale images. Euclid Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to the Greek mathematician [[Euclid]] of Alexandria. ... Color is an important part of the visual arts. ... Quantized signal Digital signal In digital signal processing, quantization is the process of approximating a continuous range of values (or a very large set of possible discrete values) by a relatively-small set of discrete symbols or integer values. ... A comparison of different color spaces. ... In computer vision, sets of data acquired by sampling the same scene or object at different times, or from different perspectives, will be in different coordinate systems. ... Digital compositing is the process of digitally assembling multiple images to make a final image, typically for print, motion pictures or screen display. ... A demosaicing algorithm is a digital image process used to interpolate a complete image from the partial raw data received from the color-filtered image sensor internal to many digital cameras in form of a matrix of colored pixels. ... A raw image file (sometimes written RAW image file ) contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of a digital camera or image scanner. ...

In computer vision, segmentation refers to the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple regions (sets of pixels). ... Digital image editing is the process of altering digital images, whether they be digital photographs or other types of digitally represented images. ... In many cases only one image with noise is available, and averaging is then realized in a local neighbourhood. ... Deconvolution is a process used to reverse the effects of convolution on recorded data. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ... Tomography is imaging by sections or sectioning. ... A collection of techniques for digital image processing based on mathematical morphology. ... A binary image is a digital image that has only two possible values for each pixel. ... In computing, a grayscale or greyscale digital image is an image in which the value of each pixel is a single sample. ...
