Basic Concept of Image Processing

This section we will cover following area: 
                  1. What is image ?
                  2. Digital image vs Analog image
                  3. How to convert image to digitize?
                  4. Application field for Image processing 
                  5. Image size   

What is image?
An image may be defined as a two dimensional function, f (x, y), where x and y are spatial (plane) coordinates spatial (plane) coordinates     and the amplitude amplitude of f  at any pair of coordinates (x, y)   is called the intensity or gray level of the image at that   point. 


                      
   Figure:  Image is nothing but a 2D matrix 

Here i have shown a matrix for gray scale image . We will discuss about gray scale , RGB image, HSI image, Binary image, So don't  worry about this. From above matrix , value of each cell of the matrix represent the pixel or intensity value . In future we will know how pixel work and if we change the pixel value for image ,what is the effect after changing pixel value in details.
