Digital Imaging Processing Flashcards
Deals with an image which is composed of many image points
Digital Image Processing
Technology of applying a number of computer algorithms to process digital images
Digital image processing
Main purpose of processing
Allow to obtain an imahe of high quality or descriptive characteristics of the original image
Generated from continuous function, required for human viewing
Analog images
Numerical representation of the patient
Digital image
Related to brightness or color
Pixel value
Two domains
Spatial location
Spatial frequency
An image is described using right handed x-y coordinates
Spatial location domain
Images are acquired and described according to tge wavelength of the signal
Spatial frequency domain
Digitizing an image
Scanning
Sampling
Quantization
Image is divided into array of pixels
Scanning
Brightness level of each pixel is measured by PMT
Sampling
Process where the brightness levels obtained through sampling are assigned
Quantization
Integer
Gray level
Total number of gray level
Gray scale
Quantization occurs in
Analog digital converter
Divides the analog signal into equal parts depending on its bit capacity
Analog digital converter
Generate image that is more pleasing to the observer
Image enhancement
To improve the quality of images ggat have distortion or degradations
Image restoration
Allows measurements and statistics to be perform
Image analysis
To reduce the size of the image in order
Image compression
2 types of compression
Lossy
Lossless
Some loss image when decompressed
Lossy
No loss of information when decompressed
Lossless
