Digital Image Processing

With the large cost involved in launching satellites, probes, sensors to keep an eye on the resources and entities of commercial value necessitates to strengthen the processing of procured data at ground stations. The emphasis is laid on enhancing the quality for easy human interpretation and reducing the quantity for easy storage and transmission. The first sine qua non involves the capturing of image and subsequent transfer to the ground stations, where the image is passed through various operations to retrieve the information of the captured area. The three pronged approach of capturing at suitable height, segmentation or edge roughening at the middle stage and retrieving the information from the base created by initial stages. With the arrival of new software’s to enhance the quality, a single image serves the representative of the whole area. The processing of the images helps to get the information in shortest possible time and energy.
