ABSTRACT
The second chapter offers more on image processing fundamentals with several implementation examples, and it augurs to be a mix of theoretical and practical perceptions of the related concepts. It kick-starts with the concepts behind the formation of an image, proceeds to image formation with Bayer filters, and outlines the process to accomplish analog-to-digital conversion of an image. The chapter enhances learning about pixels and their role in determining the number of colors accommodated in an image, and goes on to address the concepts of intensity, brightness, and contrast with relevant illustrations. Pixel resolution and pixel density are then covered followed by a detailed analysis of color models. The characteristics of image operations, different types of images, and the steps and elements in digital image processing are then covered, followed by a quiz and review questions along with answers. The chapter ends with suggestions for further reading.
