...INTRODUCTION The term image refer to two dimensional light intensity function f(x, y), where x and y denote spatial coordinates and the value of at any point (x, y) is proportional to the brightness (or gray level) of the image at that point. A digital image is an image f(x, y) that has been discretized both in spatial coordinate and brightness. A digital image can be considered a matrix whose row and column indices identify a point in the image and the corresponding matrix element value identifies the gray level at that point. The elements of such a digital array are called image elements, picture elements. The term digital image processing refers to processing of a two dimensional picture by a digital computer. An image given in the form of a transparency, slide, photograph or chart is first digitized and stored as matrix of binary digits in computer memory. This digitized image can be processed and/or displayed on a high resolution monitor. Segmentation subdivides an image into its constituent regions or objects .The level to which the segmentation is carried depends on the problem being solved. Segmentation is carried until we are able to distinguish the object from its backgrounds. Image segmentation is based on one of the two basic properties of intensity values: discontinuity and similarity. Thresholding is a similarity approach of segmenting an image. The simplest thresholding technique is to partition the image histogram by...

...experts' knowledge about image processing techniques, and is capable of solving given vision problems. As a problem domain, we choose vision algorithms for a parts-feeder, which determines the attitude of mechanical parts on a conveyor-belt and rejects parts with inappropriate attitudes. The expert system for parts feeder is designed to consist of three components: FSE (Feature selection expert), IPE (Image processing expert), DTG (Decision tree generator). The knowledge for vision algorithm design to determine parts attitude is discussed. A framework to represent knowledge for finding solutions for pattern classificationproblem is established. 1. Introduction Recently, several expert systems for image processing have been investigated[1][2][3]. Their knowledge-basesinclude human experts' knowledge about image processing techniques, and can generate a sequence of image processing operations to solve the given problem. DIA-Expert system (Digital-Image-Analysis Expert System)[4] is a typical example. When an input image and the goal of analysis are given, it continues to decompose the goal into subgoals until the sequence of executable image processing modules could be found. Here, we apply this framework to the algorithm design for an industrial machine vision[5]. Machine vision systems for advanced automation must solve problems such as the discriminationor positioning of mechanical parts and the detection of their surface flaws. The contemporary image analysis and pattern recognition...

This paper is discussed keeping in mind the navigation of the visually impaired. A video camera feeds images of the surroundings to a Da-Vinci Digital Media Processor, DM642, which works on the video, frame by frame. The processor carries out image processing techniques whose result contains information about the object in terms of image pixels. The algorithm aims to select that object, among all others, that poses maximum threat to the navigation. A database containing a total of three sounds is constructed. Hence, each image translates to a beep, where every beep informs the navigator of the obstacles directly in front of him. This paper implements a more efficient algorithm compared to its predecessor, NAVI. Keywords— Navigation, Edge Detection, Flood Function, Object Detection, DM642, Acoustic Transformation I.

...Based Image Retrieval Using Extended Local Tetra Patterns Aasish Sipani1*, Phani Krishna2 and Sarath Chandra3 1*, 2, 3 Department of Computer Science and Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Warangal, India, aasishsipani@gmail.com, ppkk1992@gmail.com, chandra.3162@gmail.com www.ijcaonline.org Received: Oct/26/2014 Revised: Nov/09/2014 Accepted: Nov/20/2014 Published: Nov/30/2014 Abstract— In this modern world, finding the desired image from huge databases has been a vital problem. Content Based Image Retrieval is an efficient method to do this. Many texture based CBIR methods have been proposed so far for better and efficient image retrieval. We aim to give a better image retrieval method by extending the Local Tetra Patterns (LTrP) for CBIR using texture classification by using additional features like Moment Invariants and Color moments. These features give additional information about the color and rotational invariance. So an improvement in the efficiency of image retrieval using CBIR is expected. Keywords— Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), Local Tetra Patterns (LTrP), Gabor Filters, Histogram Equalization, Moment Invariants I. INTRODUCTION The explosive growth of digital libraries due to Web cameras, digital cameras, and mobile phones equipped with such devices is making the database management by human annotation an extremely tedious and clumsy task. Thus, there exists a need for developing an efficient approach to search for the desired images form...

...Image Dithering Image and its parameters An image is a two-dimensional representation of a rectilinear array of pixels. A pixel is sample point in the image that has coordinates location it. These samples are obtained from the continuous function CCD cells in a camera, photoreceptors in the eye and rays in a virtual camera. There are three types of image resolution. The first resolution is where each pixel has only the depth bits for color or intensities. The second type of resolution is the spatial resolution which involves the width and the heights of the image only. Lastly, another image resolution is the temporal resolution, and this kind does the monitoring of the image brightness at a particular frequency only. Image dithering Dithering is the approximation of color from a mixture of several colors by the computer program when the desired color is not available. An example if dithering is the when a certain color in the Web page for a particular browser is not supported by the other. In that case, the browser will attempt to replace the desired color by approximating two colors that it can generate. The same may or may not be accepted by the designer of graphics and may appear grainy because it is composed of varied pixel intensities instead of one intensity. Dithering has applications in color image output and for artistic purposes as well. Secondly, dithering is used in web design for reducing images from high color counts to low color counts. It is also used in...

...Aim: To study methods of segmentation In computer vision, segmentation refers to the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple segments (sets of pixels, also known as super pixels). The goal of segmentation is to simplify and/or change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze. Image segmentation is typically used to locate objects and boundaries (lines, curves, etc.) in images. More precisely, image segmentation is the process of assigning a label to every pixel in an image such that pixels with the same label share certain visual characteristics. The result of image segmentation is a set of segments that collectively cover the entire image, or a set of contours extracted from the image (see edge detection). Each of the pixels in a region are similar with respect to some characteristic or computed property, such as color, intensity, or texture. Adjacent regions are significantly different with respect to the same characteristic(s). Some of the methods of segmentation are described as follows. Clustering methods The K-means algorithm is an iterative technique that is used to partition an image into K clusters. The basic algorithm is: Pick K cluster centers, either randomly or based on some heuristic Assign each pixel in the image to the cluster that minimizes the variance between the pixel and the cluster center Re-compute the cluster centers by averaging all of the pixels in the cluster Repeat steps 2 and 3 until...
