Digital image processing involves manipulating and analyzing digital images using algorithms to enhance or extract useful information. This field applies techniques from mathematics, computer science, and engineering to process images for various applications, such as medical imaging, satellite imagery, and facial recognition. The primary goal of digital image processing is to improve image quality or extract relevant features that are difficult to perceive with the naked eye. Common operations in digital image processing include filtering (to reduce noise or sharpen images), segmentation (to divide an image into meaningful regions), and edge detection (to identify boundaries within an image). For example, in medical imaging, digital image processing is used to enhance the quality of X-rays or MRIs to aid in detecting diseases. Another application is in the enhancement of satellite images for clearer terrain mapping. Advanced techniques like morphological operations, histogram equalization, and Fourier transforms are often used for more specialized tasks. Digital image processing forms the foundation for many computer vision applications by enabling the system to interpret visual information in ways that are useful for decision-making and automation.
