Specialty Definition: Image processing

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Image processing is the application of signal processing techniques to the domain of two-dimensional images such as photographs or video. Some domain-specific techniques exist for things such as feature extraction, but conceptually it does not differ from other forms of signal processing.

As a field of research, "image processing" can be identified with digital image processing.

Specialty Definition: IMAGE PROCESSING

Domain	Definition
Computing	Image processing Computer manipulation of images. Some of the many algorithms used in image processing include convolution (on which many others are based), FFT, DCT, thinning (or skeletonisation), edge detection and contrast enhancement. These are usually implemented in software but may also use special purpose hardware for speed. Image processing contrasts with computer graphics, which is usually more concerned with the generation of artificial images, and visualisation, which attempts to understand (real-world) data by displaying it as an artificial image (e.g. a graph). Image processing is used in image recognition and computer vision. Silicon Graphics manufacture workstations which are often used for image processing. There are a few programming languages designed for image processing, e.g. CELIP, VPL. See also Pilot European Image Processing Archive. Usenet newsgroup: news:sci.image.processing.
