Abstract

Image processing can be defined as performing any process on the visual data or vision signals such as a stored digital image, a photo from a scene or a video frame [1]. The output of an image processor might be another image or a set of special signals and sometimes some variables related to that image. Most of image processing techniques consider an image as a 2-D signal and then do a suitable signal processing on it. Nowadays, image processing is one of the best tools for feature extraction in natural studies like environmental interactions and behavior analysis. In human visual system, a similar process is done by our brain which finally helps.com to better decision making, however, the main aim of image processing is not implementation of intellectual functions of human in terms of received data from our eye (as an optical bio-sensor) related to various observations, because these functional activities are so complex. In fact, pre-processing and some specific processing steps in order to data mining, pattern recognition and knowledge extraction are key approaches of image processing in analysis of nature. An image usually follows the following steps after creation by imaging sensor:
