Digital Image ProcessingInterest in digital image processing methods stems from two principal applica- tion areas: improvement of pictorial information for human interpretation; and processing of image data for storage, transmission, and representation for au- tonomous machine perception.An image may be defined as a two-dimensional function, f(x, y), where x and y are spatial (plane) coordinates, and the amplitude of f at any pair of coordinates (x, y) is called the intensity or gray level of the image at that point. When x, y, and the amplitude values of f are all finite, discrete quantities, we call the image a digital image. The field of digital image processing refers to processing digital images by means of a digital computer. Note that a digital image is composed of a finite number of elements, each of which has a particular location and value. These elements are referred to as picture elements, image elements, pels, and pixels. Pixel is the term most widely used to denote the elements of a digital image.Vision is the most advanced of our senses, so it is not surprising that images play the single most important role in human perception. However, unlike humans, who are limited to the visual band of the electromagnetic (EM) spec- trum, imaging machines cover almost the entire EM spectrum, ranging from gamma to radio waves. They can operate on images generated by sources that humans are not accustomed to associating with images. These include ultra- sound, electron microscopy, and computer-generated images. Thus, digital image processing encompasses a wide and varied field of applications.There is no general agreement among authors regarding where image processing stops and other related areas, such as image analysis and computer vi- sion, start. Sometimes a distinction is made by defining image processing as a discipline in which both the input and output of a process are images. We believe this to be a limiting and somewhat artificial boundary. For example, under this definition, even the trivial task of computing the average intensity of an image (which yields a single number) would not be considered an image processing operation. On the other hand, there are fields such as computer vision whose ultimate goal is to use computers to emulate human vision, including learning and being able to make inferences and take actions based on visual inputs. This area itself is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) whose objective is to emulate human intelligence. The field of AI is in its earliest stages of infancy in terms of development, with progress having been much slower than originally anticipated. The area of image analysis (also called image understanding) is in be- tween image processing and computer vision.There are no clearcut boundaries in the continuum from image processing at one end to computer vision at the other. However, one useful paradigm is to consider three types of computerized processes in this continuum: low-, mid-, and highlevel processes. Low-level processes involve primitive opera- tions such as image preprocessing to reduce noise, contrast enhancement, and image sharpening. A low-level process is characterized by the fact that both its inputs and outputs are images. Mid-level processing on images involves tasks such as segmentation (partitioning an image into regions or objects), description of those objects to reduce them to a form suitable for computer processing, and classification (recognition) of individual objects. A midlevel process is characterized by the fact that its inputs generally are images, but its outputs are attributes extracted from those images (e.g., edges, contours, and the identity of individual objects). Finally, higherlevel processing involves “making sense” of an ensemble of recognized objects, as in image analysis, and, at the far end of the continuum, performing the cognitive functions normally associated with vision.Based on the preceding comments, we see that a logical place of overlap between image processing and image analysis is the area of recognition of individual regions or objects in an image. Thus, what we call in this book digital image processing encompasses processes whose inputs and outputs are images and, in addition, encompasses processes that extract attributes from images, up to and including the recognition of individual objects. As a simple illustration to clarify these concepts, consider the area of automated analysis of text. The processes of acquiring an image of the area containing the text, preprocessing that image, extracting (segmenting) the individual characters, describing the characters in a form suitable for computer processing, and recognizing those individual characters are in the scope of what we call digital image processing in this book. Making sense of the content of the page may be viewed as being in the domain of image analysis and even computer vision, depending on the level of complexity implied by the statement “making sense.” As will become evident shortly, digital image processing, as we have defined it, is used successfully in a broad range of areas of exceptional social and economic value.The areas of application of digital image processing are so varied that some form of organization is desirable in attempting to capture the breadth of this field. One of the simplest ways to develop a basic understanding of the extent of image processing applications is to categorize images according to their source (e.g., visual, X-ray, and so on). The principal energy source for images in use today is the electromagnetic energy spectrum. Other important sources of energy include acoustic, ultrasonic, and electronic (in the form of electron beams used in electron microscopy). Synthetic images, used for modeling and visualization, are generated by computer. In this section we discuss briefly how images are generated in these various categories and the areas in which they are applied. Images based on radiation from the EM spectrum are the most familiar, es- pecially images in the X-ray and visual bands of the spectrum. Electromagnet- ic waves can be conceptualized as propagating sinusoidal waves of varying wavelengths, or they can be thought of as a stream of massless particles, each traveling in a wavelike pattern and moving at the speed of light. Each massless particle contains a certain amount (or bundle) of energy. Each bundle of energy is called a photon. If spectral bands are grouped according to energy per photon, we obtain the spectrum shown in fig. below, ranging from gamma rays (highest energy) at one end to radio waves (lowest energy) at the other. The bands are shown shaded to convey the fact that bands of the EM spectrum are not distinct but rather transition smoothly from one to the other. Image acquisition is the first process. Note that acquisition could be as simple as being given an image that is already in digital form. Generally, the image acquisition stage involves preprocessing, such as scaling.Image enhancement is among the simplest and most appealing areas of digital image processing. Basically, the idea behind enhancement techniques is to bring out detail that is obscured, or simply to highlight certain features of interest in an image. A familiar example of enhancement is when we increase the contrast of an image because “it looks better.” It is important to keep in mind that enhancement is a very subjective area of image processing. Image restoration is an area that also deals with improving the appearance of an image. However, unlike enhancement, which is subjective, image restoration is objective, in the sense that restoration techniques tend to be based on mathematical or probabilistic models of image degradation. Enhancement, on the other hand, is based on human subjective preferences regarding what constitutes a “good” enhancement result. Color image processing is an area that has been gaining in importance because of the significant increase in the use of digital images over the Internet. It covers a number of fundamental concepts in color models and basic color processing in a digital domain. Color is used also in later chapters as the basis for extracting features of interest in an image.Wavelets are the foundation for representing images in various degrees of resolution. In particular, this material is used in this book for image data compression and for pyramidal representation, in which images are subdivided successively into smaller regions. Compression, as the name implies, deals with techniques for reducing the storage required to save an image, or the bandwidth required to transmi it.Although storage technology has improved significantly over the past decade, the same cannot be said for transmission capacity. This is true particularly in uses of the Internet, which are characterized by significant pictorial content. Image compression is familiar (perhaps inadvertently) to most users of computers in the form of image file extensions, such as the jpg file extension used in the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) image compression standard.Morphological processing deals with tools for extracting image components that are useful in the representation and description of shape. The material in this chapter begins a transition from processes that output images to processes that output image attributes.Segmentation procedures partition an image into its constituent parts or objects. In general, autonomous segmentation is one of the most difficult tasks in digital image processing. A rugged segmentation procedure brings the process a long way toward successful solution of imaging problems that require objects to be identified individually. On the other hand, weak or erratic segmentation algorithms almost always guarantee eventual failure. In general, the more accurate the segmentation, the more likely recognition is to succeed.Representation and description almost always follow the output of a segmentation stage, which usually is raw pixel data, constituting either the bound- ary of a region (i.e., the set of pixels separating one image region from another) or all the points in the region itself. In either case, converting the data to a form suitable for computer processing is necessary. The first decision that must be made is whether the data should be represented as a boundary or as a complete region. Boundary representation is appropriate when the focus is on external shape characteristics, such as corners and inflections. Regional representation is appropriate when the focus is on internal properties, such as texture or skeletal shape. In some applications, these representations complement each other. Choosing a representation is only part of the solution for trans- forming raw data into a form suitable for subsequent computer processing. A method must also be specified for describing the data so that features of interest are highlighted. Description, also called feature selection, deals with extracting attributes that result in some quantitative information of interest or are basic for differentiating one class of objects from another.Recognition is the process that assigns a label (e.g., “vehicle”) to an object based on its descriptors. As detailed before, we conclude our coverage of digital image processing with the development of methods for recognition of individual objects.So far we have said nothing about the need for prior knowledge or about the interaction between the knowledge base and the processing modules in Fig2 above. Knowledge about a problem domain is coded into an image processing system in the form of a knowledge database. This knowledge may be as sim- ple as detailing regions of an image where the information of interest is known to be located, thus limiting the search that has to be conducted in seeking that information. The knowledge base also can be quite complex, such as an interrelated list of all major possible defects in a materials inspection problem or an image database containing high-resolution satellite images of a region in con- nection with change-detection applications. In addition to guiding the operation of each processing module, the knowledge base also controls the interaction between modules. This distinction is made in Fig2 above by the use of double-headed arrows between the processing modules and the knowledge base, as op- posed to single-headed arrows linking the processing modules.Edge detectionEdge detection is a terminology in image processing and computer vision, particularly in the areas of feature detection and feature extraction, to refer to algorithms which aim at identifying points in a digital image at which the image brightness changes sharply or more formally has discontinuities.Although point and line detection certainly are important in any discussion on segmentation,edge dectection is by far the most common approach for detecting meaningful discounties in gray level.Although certain literature has considered the detection of ideal step edges, the edges obtained from natural images are usually not at all ideal step edges. Instead they are normally affected by one or several of the following effects:1.focal blur caused by a finite depth-of-field and finite point spread function; 2.penumbral blur caused by shadows created by light sources of non-zero radius; 3.shading at a smooth object edge; 4.local specularities or interreflections in the vicinity of object edges. A typical edge might for instance be the border between a block of red color and a block of yellow. In contrast a line (as can be extracted by a ridge detector) can be a small number of pixels of a different color on an otherwise unchanging background. For a line, there may therefore usually be one edge on each side of the line.To illustrate why edge detection is not a trivial task, let us consider the problem of detecting edges in the following one-dimensional signal. Here, we may intuitively say that there should be an edge between the 4th and 5th pixels.5764152148149 If the intensity difference were smaller between the 4th and the 5th pixels and if the intensity differences between the adjacent neighbouring pixels were higher, it would not be as easy to say that there should be an edge in the corresponding region. Moreover, one could argue that this case is one in which there are several edges.Hence, to firmly state a specific threshold on how large the intensity change between two neighbouring pixels must be for us to say that there should be an edge between these pixels is not always a simple problem. Indeed, this is one of the reasons why edge detection may be a non-trivial problem unless the objects in the scene are particularly simple and the illumination conditions can be well controlled.There are many methods for edge detection, but most of them can be grouped into two categories,search-based and zero-crossing based. The search-based methods detect edges by first computing a measure of edge strength, usually a first-order derivative expression such as the gradient magnitude, and then searching for local directional maxima of the gradient magnitude using a computed estimate of the local orientation of the edge, usually the gradient direction. The zero-crossing based methods search for zero crossings in a second-order derivative expression computed from the image in order to find edges, usually the zero-crossings of the Laplacian or the zero-crossings of a non-linear differential expression, as will be described in the section on differential edge detection following below. As a pre-processing step to edge detection, a smoothing stage, typically Gaussian smoothing, is almost always applied (see also noise reduction).The edge detection methods that have been published mainly differ in the types of smoothing filters that are applied and the way the measures of edge strength are computed. As many edge detection methods rely on the computation of image gradients, they also differ in the types of filters used for computing gradient estimates in the x- and y-directions.Once we have computed a measure of edge strength (typically the gradient magnitude), the next stage is to apply a threshold, to decide whether edges are present or not at an image point. The lower the threshold, the more edges will be detected, and the result will be increasingly susceptible to noise, and also to picking out irrelevant features from the image. Conversely a high threshold may miss subtle edges, or result in fragmented edges.If the edge thresholding is applied to just the gradient magnitude image, the resulting edges will in general be thick and some type of edge thinning post-processing is necessary. For edges detected with non-maximum suppression however, the edge curves are thin by definition and the edge pixels can be linked into edge polygon by an edge linking (edge tracking) procedure. On a discrete grid, the non-maximum suppression stage can be implemented by estimating the gradient direction using first-order derivatives, then rounding off the gradient direction to multiples of 45 degrees, and finally comparing the values of the gradient magnitude in the estimated gradient direction. A commonly used approach to handle the problem of appropriate thresholds for thresholding is by using thresholding with hysteresis. This method uses multiple thresholds to find edges. We begin by using the upper threshold to find the start of an edge. Once we have a start point, we then trace the path of the edge through the image pixel by pixel, marking an edge whenever we are above the lower threshold. We stop marking our edge only when the value falls below our lower threshold. This approach makes the assumption that edges are likely to be in continuous curves, and allows us to follow a faint section of an edge we have previously seen, without meaning that every noisy pixel in the image is marked down as an edge. Still, however, we have the problem of choosing appropriate thresholding parameters, and suitable thresholding values may vary over the image.Some edge-detection operators are instead based upon second-order derivatives of the intensity. This essentially captures the rate of change in the intensity gradient. Thus, in the ideal continuous case, detection of zero-crossings in the second derivative captures local maxima in the gradient.We can come to a conclusion that,to be classified as a meaningful edge point,the transition in gray level associated with that point has to be significantly stronger than the background at that point.Since we are dealing with local computations,the method of choice to determine whether a value is “significant” or not id to use a threshold.Thus we define a point in an image as being as being an edge point if its two-dimensional first-order derivative is greater than a specified criterion of connectedness is by definition an edge.The term edge segment generally is used if the edge is short in relation to the dimensions of the image.A key problem in segmentation is to assemble edge segments into longer edges.An alternate definition if we elect to use the second-derivative is simply to define the edge ponits in an image as the zero crossings of its second derivative.The definition of an edge in this case is the same as above.It is important to note that these definitions do not guarantee success in finding edge in an image.They simply give us a formalism to look for them.First-order derivatives in an image are computed using the gradient.Second-order derivatives are obtained using the Laplacian.数字图像数字图像数字图像的研究源于两个主要应用领域:其一是为了便于人们分析而对图像信息进行改进:其二是为使机器自动理解而对图像数据进行存储、传输及显示。一幅图像可定义为一个二维函数f(x,y),这里x和y是空间坐标,而在任何一对空间坐标(x,y)上的幅值f 称为该点图像的强度或灰度。当x,y和幅值f为有限的、离散的数值时,称该图像为数字图像。数字图像处理是指借用数字计算机处理数字图像,值得提及的是数字图像是由有限的元素组成的,每一个元素都有一个特定的位置和幅值,这些元素称为图像元素、画面元素或像素。像素是广泛用于表示数字图像元素的词汇。视觉是人类最高级的感知器官,所以,毫无疑问图像在人类感知中扮演着最重要的角色。然而,人类感知只限于电磁波谱的视觉波段,成像机器则可覆盖几乎全部电磁波谱,从伽马射线到无线电波。它们可以对非人类习惯的那些图像源进行加工,这些图像源包括超声波、电子显微镜及计算机产生的图像。因此,数字图像处理涉及各种各样的应用领域。图像处理涉及的范畴或其他相关领域(例如,图像分析和计算机视觉)的界定在初创人之间并没有一致的看法。有时用处理的输入和输出内容都是图像这一特点来界定图像处理的范围。我们认为这一定义仅是人为界定和限制。例如,在这个定义下,甚至最普通的计算一幅图像灰度平均值的工作都不能算做是图像处理。另一方面,有些领域(如计算机视觉)研究的最高目标是用计算机去模拟人类视觉,包括理解和推理并根据视觉输入采取行动等。这一领域本身是人工智能的分支,其目的是模仿人类智能。人工智能领域处在其发展过程中的初期阶段,它的发展比预期的要慢的多,图像分析(也称为图像理解)领域则处在图像处理和计算机视觉两个学科之间。从图像处理到计算机视觉这个连续的统一体内并没有明确的界线。然而,在这个连续的统一体中可以考虑三种典型的计算处理(即低级、中级和高级处理)来区分其中的各个学科。低级处理涉及初级操作,如降低噪声的图像预处理,对比度增强和图像尖锐化。低级处理是以输入、输出都是图像为特点的处理。中级处理涉及分割(把图像分为不同区域或目标物)以及缩减对目标物的描述,以使其更适合计算机处理及对不同目标的分类(识别)。中级图像处理是以输入为图像,但输出是从这些图像中提取的特征(如边缘、轮廓及不同物体的标识等)为特点的。最后,高级处理涉及在图像分析中被识别物体的总体理解,以及执行与视觉相关的识别函数(处在连续统一体边缘)等。根据上述讨论,我们看到,图像处理和图像分析两个领域合乎逻辑的重叠区域是图像中特定区域或物体的识别这一领域。这样,在研究中,我们界定数字图像处理包括输入和输出均是图像的处理,同时也包括从图像中提取特征及识别特定物体的处理。举一个简单的文本自动分析方面的例子来具体说明这一概念。在自动分析文本时首先获取一幅包含文本的图像,对该图像进行预处理,提取(分割)字符,然后以适合计算机处理的形式描述这些字符,最后识别这些字符,而所有这些操作都在本文界定的数字图像处理的范围内。理解一页的内容可能要根据理解的复杂度从图像分析或计算机视觉领域考虑问题。这样,我们定义的数字图像处理的概念将在有特殊社会和经济价值的领域内通用。数字图像处理的应用领域多种多样,所以文本在内容组织上尽量达到该技术应用领域的广度。阐述数字图像处理应用范围最简单的一种方法是根据信息源来分类(如可见光、X射线,等等)。在今天的应用中,最主要的图像源是电磁能谱,其他主要的能源包括声波、超声波和电子(以用于电子显微镜方法的电子束形式)。建模和可视化应用中的合成图像由计算机产生。建立在电磁波谱辐射基础上的图像是最熟悉的,特别是X射线和可见光谱图像。电磁波可定义为以各种波长传播的正弦波,或者认为是一种粒子流,每个粒子包含一定(一束)能量,每束能量成为一个光子。如果光谱波段根据光谱能量进行分组,我们会得到下图1所示的伽马射线(最高能量)到无线电波(最低能量)的光谱。如图所示的加底纹的条带表达了这样一个事实,即电磁波谱的各波段间并没有明确的界线,而是由一个波段平滑地过渡到另一个波段。 图像获取是第一步处理。注意到获取与给出一幅数字形式的图像一样简单。通常,图像获取包括如设置比例尺等预处理。图像增强是数字图像处理最简单和最有吸引力的领域。基本上,增强技术后面的思路是显现那些被模糊了的细节,或简单地突出一幅图像中感兴趣的特征。一个图像增强的例子是增强图像的对比度,使其看起来好一些。应记住,增强是图像处理中非常主观的领域,这一点很重要。图像复原也是改进图像外貌的一个处理领域。然而,不像增强,图像增强是主观的,而图像复原是客观的。在某种意义上说,复原技术倾向于以图像退化的数学或概率模型为基础。另一方面,增强以怎样构成好的增强效果这种人的主观偏爱为基础。彩色图像处理已经成为一个重要领域,因为基于互联网的图像处理应用在不断增长。就使得在彩色模型、数字域的彩色处理方面涵盖了大量基本概念。在后续发展,彩色还是图像中感兴趣特征被提取的基础。小波是在各种分辨率下描述图像的基础。特别是在应用中,这些理论被用于图像数据压缩及金字塔描述方法。在这里,图像被成功地细分为较小的区域。压缩,正如其名称所指的意思,所涉及的技术是减少图像的存储量,或者在传输图像时降低频带。虽然存储技术在过去的十年内有了很大改进,但对传输能力我们还不能这样说,尤其在互联网上更是如此,互联网是以大量的图片内容为特征的。图像压缩技术对应的图像文件扩展名对大多数计算机用户是很熟悉的(也许没注意),如JPG文件扩展名用于JPEG(联合图片专家组)图像压缩标准。形态学处理设计提取图像元素的工具,它在表现和描述形状方面非常有用。这一章的材料将从输出图像处理到输出图像特征处理的转换开始。分割过程将一幅图像划分为组成部分或目标物。通常,自主分割是数字图像处理中最为困难的任务之一。复杂的分割过程导致成功解决要求物体被分别识别出来的成像问题需要大量处理工作。另一方面,不健壮且不稳定的分割算法几乎总是会导致最终失败。通常,分割越准确,识别越成功。表示和描述几乎总是跟随在分割步骤的输后边,通常这一输出是未加工的数据,其构成不是区域的边缘(区分一个图像区域和另一个区域的像素集)就是其区域本身的所有点。无论哪种情况,把数据转换成适合计算机处理的形式都是必要的。首先,必须确定数据是应该被表现为边界还是整个区域。当注意的焦点是外部形状特性(如拐角和曲线)时,则边界表示是合适的。当注意的焦点
