UNIT I INTRODUCTION

Examples of fields that use digital image processing, fundamental steps in digital image processing, components of image processing system. Digital Image Fundamentals: A simple image formation model, image sampling and quantization, basic relationships between pixels. Color Image Processing: Color fundamentals, color models, pseudo color image processing, basics of full–color image processing, color transforms, smoothing and sharpening, color segmentation

UNIT II IMAGE ENHANCEMENT

Image enhancement in the spatial domain: Basic gray-level transformation, histogram processing, enhancement using arithmetic and logic operators, basic spatial filtering, smoothing, and sharpening spatial filters, combining the spatial enhancement methods. Filtering in the Frequency Domain: Preliminary Concepts, Extension to functions of two variables, Image Smoothing, Image Sharpening, Homomorphic filtering. A model of the image degradation/restoration process, noise models, restoration in the presence of noise–only spatial filtering.
