This lecture overviews digital images, image processing and image analysis. 1D signals, 2D signals (images), 3D signals (videos, medical volumes) are presented. Multichannel images, e.g., color and multispectral images come next. Image processing and signal analysis are defined and their differences from other related disciplines are explained. Notable image processing topics (image filtering, Image contrast… Continue reading Introduction to Image Processing
