Images are at the core of vision, and there are many ways—from simple to sophisticated—for processing and analyzing them. This chapter concentrates on simple algorithms, which nevertheless need to be treated carefully as there are important subtleties to be learnt. Above all, the chapter aims to show that quite a lot can be achieved with such algorithms, which can readily be programmed and tested by the reader.
Look out for:
• the different types of image—binary, grayscale, and color.
• a compact notation for presenting image processing operations.
• basic pixel operations—clearing, copying, inverting, thresholding. ...
