Image processing

Image processing
In imaging science, image processing is
any form of signal processing for which the
input is an image, such as a photograph or
video frame; the output of image processing
may be either an image or a set of
characteristics or parameters related to the
image. Most image-processing techniques
involve treating the image as a
two-dimensional signal and applying
standard signal-processing techniques to it.
Image processing usually refers to digital
image processing, but optical and analog
image processing also are possible. This
article is about general techniques that apply
to all of them. The acquisition of images
(producing the input image in the first place)
is referred to as imaging.

Closely related to image processing are computer graphics and computer vision. In computer graphics, images are
manually made from physical models of objects, environments, and lighting, instead of being acquired (via imaging
devices such as cameras) from natural scenes, as in most animated movies. Computer vision, on the other hand, is
often considered high-level image processing out of which a machine/computer/software intends to decipher the
physical contents of an image or a sequence of images (e.g., videos or 3D full-body magnetic resonance scans).
In modern sciences and technologies, images also gain much broader scopes due to the ever growing importance of
scientific visualization (of often large-scale complex scientific/experimental data). Examples include microarray data
in genetic research, or real-time multi-asset portfolio trading in finance.
