This is the second part of a two week experiment in image processing. In the first week , we covered the fundamentals of digital monochrome images, intensity histograms, pointwise transformations, gamma correction, and image enhancement based on filtering. During this week, we will cover some fundamental concepts of color images. This will include a brief description on how humans perceive colo...

The integument comprises the skin together with its appendages (Figures 1 & 2). These include hair and hair follicles, sebaceous and sweat glands, and nails. The skin covers the entire body and is the largest organ of the body. It covers a surface area of more than 1.7 m making up in total about 16% of normal body weight. It has an array of functions. These include acting as a barrier to physic...

Monte Carlo means using random numbers to compute something that itself is not random. For example, suppose X is a random variable with some distribution, V (x) is some function, and we want to know A = E[V (X)]. There may be another random variable Y with another distribution, and another function W (y), so that A = E[W (Y )]. Simulation is the process of generating random variables with the X...
