Image Processing System

@concept

Image Sensor

: Image sensor projects 3D space object to 2D space. This data include geometric informations of that space(size, shape, thickness, angle, existence) and additive informations from color(grouping, surface, recognition, etc). Image sensor is useful because of these applicable informations.

Typical Architecture of Image Processing System

 - Camera : image acquisition
 - Encoder : image transformation for long distance transmission
 - Decoder : restoration of encoded image. so-called ‘Image Grabber’ or ‘Frame Grabber’
 - PC, Embedded System : image printing or processing

OpenCV (Open Computer Vision)
: OpenCV is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision. We can bring images to user programming area using this.

The Field of Image Processing
 - Image Processing: INPUT=image, OUTPUT=image
 - Computer Graphics: INPUT=not image, OUTPUT=image
 - Machine Vision: INPUT=image, OUTPUT=not image

Image Transfer System
 - analog: NTSC
 - digital: ITU BT.601/656
