3 History of C++ C : developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs for UNIX on a PDP-11 computer, C++ : written by Bjarne Sroustrup at Bell Labs, C++ is an extension of C Added features to C, with Classes C++ improves the quality of code and makes reusable code easier to write Image Processing Image Processing : Process images by means of digital computers Image : photograph/picture scanned/produced Digital image : An electronic photograph made up of a set of picture elements, "pixels" Each pixel is at a spatial position and has a tonal value (intensity, gray level) represented digitally in binary code (zeros and ones). First Digital Image Used in newspaper industry Sent between London and New York Bartlane cable picture transmission system was introduced in a week => 3 hours Reproduced on a telegraph printer with typefaces to simulate a halftone pattern Photographic Reproduction Better tonal quality (5 gray levels) Higher resolution Photographic Reproduction Better tonal quality (15 gray levels) Higher resolution Computers Involved in Creation From early 1960s US space missions

4 Medical Imaging From late 1960s and early 1970s Computerized tomography (CT) Using X-rays Gamma-Ray Imaging Bone scan Positron emission tomography (PET) Cygnus Loop Gamma radiation from a reactor valve Chest X-ray Aortic angiogram Head CT Circuit boards Cygnus Loop X-Ray Imaging Ultraviolet Band Imaging Normal corn Smut corn Cygnus Loop Light Microscopy Images Anticancer agent, 250X Cholesterol, 40X Microprocessor, 60X Nickel oxide thin film, 600X Audio CD surface, 1750X Organic superconductor, 450X Landsat Satellite Image 7 Bands: 1. Visible blue, 2. visible green, 3. visible red, 4. near infrared, 5. middle infrared, 6. thermal infrared, 7. middle infrared

7 What You Will Learn Level (brightness) operations Algebraic and logical operations Geometric transformations Filtering (both spatial and frequency-based) Sampling Restoration/Reconstruction Compression Applications Multimedia (just look at the web) Image Editing and Manipulation (Photoshop) Medical Imaging (CT, MRI) Compression (PNG, JPEG) Document Processing (OCR) Image Libraries (restoration/cleanup, storage, retrieval) Many More Relation to Other Fields Image Processing: Transform an image into another image, often to make the image better to give information Computer Vision: Find the model of an image Computer Graphics: Create an image of a model Computer Vision Image Model Image Processing Computer Graphics
