Image Processing

About

Image processing is a commonly used term used in the fields of electrical engineering and computer science. Image processing refers to any form of "signal processing" for the the input is an image such as a digital picture or video. The output may be either an images or set of characteristics/parameters related to the image. On this page I've began collecting a few definitions and resources / webpages which I like.

Image processing presentations

• Image processing, by Bill Mark, Intel - nice introduction with lots of images and formulae for image filtering and edge detection techniques. The main focus however, is techniques of noise reduction.
