One image is worth more than ten thousands words.

Image processing mainly focus on digital image processing.

With the improvement of people's life, digital image processing is walking into common people's world. Photoshop is a famous tool to process pictures. In this article, I will talk about what digital image processing is, history of digital image processing, and key stages in digital image processing.

1. What is image processing? Image processing technology mainly includes image digitization, image encoding, image enhancement, image restoration, image segmentation, and image analysis. It focus on two tasks: (1)improvement of pictorial information for human interpretation. (2) processing of image data for storage, transmission and representation for autonomous machine perception.



2.  History of digital image processing. One of the first application of digital imaging was in the news paper industry at early 1920s. Many of the techniques of digital image processing as it often was called, were developed in the 1960s. The cost of processing at that time was fairly high. With the development of computing equipment, that situation was changed in the 1970s.  Digital image processing has become the most common form of image processing in the 2000s.

3. The process of digital image processing includes image acquisition, image enhancement, image restoration, morphological processing, segmentation, object recognition, representation and description.

In the three paragraphs above,  I simply show you  definition, history, and key stages of digital imaging. If you want to know more about it, you can search: image processing by Google. You will find tons of materials. Today, imaging processing is a really hot topic.
