Image Processing System
Digital image processing is the
processing of an image by means of a
digital computer.
Digital image processing uses different
computer algorithms to perform image
processing on the digital images.
Components of Image Processing
System
.
I. Image Sensors:
Image sensors senses the intensity,
amplitude, co-ordinates and other
features of the images and passes the
result to the image processing hardware.
It includes the problem domain.
II. Image Processing Hardware:
Image processing hardware is the
dedicated hardware that is used to
process the instructions obtained from
the image sensors. It passes the result to
general purpose computer.
III. Computer:
Computer used in the image processing
system is the general purpose computer that is
used by us in our daily life.
IV. Image Processing Software:
Image processing software is the software
that includes all the mechanisms and algorithms
that are used in image processing system.
V. Mass Storage:
Mass storage stores the pixels of the images
during the processing.
.
VI. Hard Copy Device:
Once the image is processed then it is
stored in the hard copy device. It can be a
pen drive or any external ROM device.
VII. Image Display:
It includes the monitor or display
screen that displays the processed images.
VIII. Network:
Network is the connection of all the
above elements of the image processing
system.
