Digital Image Processing

What Is Digital Image Processing?

Digital image processing is the use of computer algorithms to create, process, communicate, and display digital images. Digital image processing algorithms can be used to:

The following images illustrate a few of these examples:

Removing noise using a Wiener Filter

Removing noise using a Wiener Filter.

Effective techniques for processing digital images include using algorithms and tools that provide a comprehensive environment for data analysis, visualization, and algorithm development.
