What is Digital Image Processing and How to Edit Them? Digital image processing is the process of converting data stored in an image format or printed on paper, into an electronic format. This process involves two tasks – first, enhancement of information in image format and second, storage of data in electronic format to enable its easy transmission. Digital image processing is the most versatile and cheapest option of image processing. Digital image processing includes the following procedures:
Capturing and sorting of images
Keying and indexing of images
Storage and retrieval of images
Data entry of catalogue
Creation of database files from images
Excel spreadsheet data entry
Data entry of scanned images
It is also the only procedure available, as on date, for:
Classification of data Feature extraction Recognizing patterns Projection, and Analysis of signals on a multi-scale level
Digital image processing includes various techniques such as pixilation, anisotropic diffusion, principal component analysis, linear filtering, self-organizing maps etc. This technique is important for use in various industries, some of which include medicine (for MRI scans), entertainment (for artistic effects), geographic information system (for satellite
imagery, meteorology etc.), industrial inspections, PCB inspections and for making human computer interfaces look more natural. There are various companies providing an array of digital image processing services. Hence, it is advisable to outsource the image processing job to an image processing company which provides competent service at an affordable price. These companies use state-of-the-art infrastructure and updated techniques. Hence, instead of investing in buying and maintaining digital image processing equipment, it is much cheaper to outsource the job.
