History of digital image processing
State the art examples of digital image processing.
Conclusion.
A digital image is a representation of a two dimensional image as a finite set of digital values, called picture element or pixel.
WHAT IS DIGITAL IMAGE?
Pixel value typically represent gray levels, colours, heights, opacities, etc.
Remember digitization implies that a digital image is an approximation of a real scene.
Sample per point (B&W or Grayscale)
Sample per point (Red, Green and Blue)
Sample per point (Red, Green, Blue, and "Alpha", a.k.a. Opacity)
Digital image processing focus on two major tasks:
Improvement of pictorial information for human interpretation.
Processing of image data for storage, transmission and representation for autonomous machine perception
Digital image processing allows the use of much more complex algorithms, and hence, can offer both more sophisticated performance at simple tasks, and the implementation of methods which would be impossible by analog means.

HISTORY
Many of the techniques of digital image processing, or digital picture processing as it often was called, were developed in the 1960s at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with application to satellite imagery, wire-photo standards conversion, medical imaging, videophone, character recognition, and photograph enhancement. That changed in the 1970s, when digital image processing proliferated as cheaper computers and dedicated hardware became available.
With the fast computers and signal processors available in the 2000s, digital image processing has become the most common form of image processing and generally, is used because it is not only the most versatile method, but also the cheapest.
Digital image processing technology for medical applications was inducted into the Space Foundation Space Technology Hall of Fame in 1994.
In 2002 Raanan Fattel, introduced Gradient domain image processing, a new way to process images in which the differences between pixels are manipulated rather than the pixel values themselves.

In most cases, effective use of color space- face color relationships and morphological processing allowed effective pre-processing.
For images trained on, able to detect faces with reasonable accuracy and miss and false alarm rates.
Adaptive adjustment of template scale, angle, and threshold allowed most faces to be detected.
