1. Digital image processing is also referred to as computer imaging and can be defined as the
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s acquisition and processing of visual information by computer. It can be divided into application
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s areas of computer vision and human vision; where in computer vision applications the end user
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s is a computer and in human vision applications the end user is a human. Image analysis ties
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
these two primary application areas together, and can be defined as the examination of image
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s data to solve a computer imaging problem. A computer vision system can be thought of as a
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s

2. In general, a computer vision system has an imaging device, such as a camera, and a computer
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s running analysis software to perform a desired task. Such as: A system to inspect parts on an
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s assembly line. A system to aid in the diagnosis of cancer via MRI images. A system to

s automatically navigate a vehicle across Martian terrain. A system to inspect welds in an
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s automotive assembly factory. s s
3. The image analysis process requires the use of tools such as image segmentation, image
s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s transforms, feature extraction and pattern classification. Image segmentation is often one of
s s s s s s s s s s s
s the first steps in finding higher level objects from the raw image data. Feature extraction is the
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s process of acquiring higher level image information, such as shape or color information, and may

require the use of image transforms to find spatial frequency information. Pattern classification

is the act of taking this higher level information and identifying objects within the image.

7. A sensor is a measuring device that responds to various parts of the EM spectrum, or other
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s signal that we desire to measure. To create images the measurements are taken across a
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s two- dimensional gird, thus creating a digital image.

8. A range image is an image where the pixel values correspond to the distance from the imaging
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s sensor. They are typically created with radar, ultrasound or lasers.

9. The reflectance function describes the way an object reflects incident light. This relates to

10. Radiance is the light energy reflected from, or emitted by, an object; whereas irradiance is
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
s the incident light falling on a surface. So radiance is measured in Power/(Area)(SolidAngle), and

s irradiance is measure in Power./Area. s s s s
11. A photon is a massless particle that is used to model EM radiation. A CCD is a charge-
