Abstract

Digital image processing deals with the technique of implementing changes in remote sensing data pattern for specific purposes. It can be carried out for a number of purposes such as: radiometric image correction, geometric image correction, image registration, image enhancement, image filtering, image transformation, colour enhancement, image fusion, 2.5 Dimensional visualization, image segmentation and classification.
