Digital Image Processing Lab

Digital images play an important role both in daily life applications as well as in the areas of research technology. The digital image processing refers to the manipulation of an image by means of processor. The different elements of an image processing system include image acquisition, image storage, image processing and display. An image is two-dimensional function that represent a message of sum characteristics such as brightness or color of viewed scene in the program. It is also used to enhance the images, to get some important information from it. The first application of digital image was in the newspaper industry when the pictures were first sent by submarine cable between London and New York. The cable picture transmission in 1921 reduced the time required to transport a picture across the Atlantic for more than a week to less than 3 hours.
