Abstract
The field of image processing addresses handling and analysis of images for many purposes using a large number of techniques and methods. The applications of image processing range from enhancement of the visibility of certain organs in medical images to object recognition for handling by industrial robots and face recognition for identification at airports, but also searching for images in image databases. The methods applied range from low-level approaches like boundary detection and color based segmentation to advanced object detection using statistical geometric models. Often several techniques must be combined to obtain a desired result, e.g., first low-level feature extraction, next clustering into regions, extraction of shape parameters and finally object recognition.
