Subcategories

Active shape model - or ASMs, statistical models of the shape of an image, which iteratively deforms to fit the example of the object in a new image
Feature extraction - the extraction of a reduced set of features from a redundant input data stream
Image analysis - the extraction of meaningful information from digital images
Image coding - the transformation of an image into computer code
Image color analysis - the analysis of the color content of images
Image enhancement - the improvement of the picture quality of a digital image
Image fusion - the combining of relevant information from two or more images into one image
Image generation - the creation of digital images from source code or other information
Image recognition - the ability of computers to recognize relevant information in images
Image reconstruction - the process of recreating the original content of an image from a damaged or degraded copy
Image registration - the process of transforming different sets of data into one coordinate system, such as information from multiple images
Image representation - the display of a computerized image to a user
Image resolution - the level of detail embodied in an image
Image sampling - the use of discrete points or parts of an image to represent the whole, either for the purposes of storage or modification
Image segmentation - the process of partitioning an image into multiple segments or sets of pixels
Image sequences - the use of sequentially numbered images stored in separate files to store and exchange movies and moving images
Image texture - a set of metrics calculated in image processing designed to quantify the perceived texture of an image
Machine vision - or MV, is the process of applying a range of technologies and methods to provide image-based automatic control and inspection for industrial applications
Optical feedback - similar to acoustic feedback in that it occurs when a loop exists between an optical input and an optical output
Spatial coherence - the extent of cross-correlation between two points in a wave or a pattern
