optical image processing system
1Image processing — is any form of signal processing for which the input is an image, such as photographs or frames of video; the output of image processing can be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image. Most image processing… …
2Microscope image processing — is a broad term that covers the use of digital image processing techniques to process, analyze and present images obtained from a microscope. Such processing is now commonplace in a number of diverse fields such as medicine, biological research,… …
3Signal to noise ratio (image processing) — The Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is used in image processing as a physical measure of the sensitivity of an imaging system. Industry standards measure SNR in decibels (dB) and therefore apply the 20 log rule to the pure SNR ratio. In turn,… …
4Document Image Processing — Is a technique for using electronic images of paper documents in an information retrieval system. Also simply called DIP. DIP enables the electronic storage of complete paper documents in (typically) optical storage systems which are capable of …
5Image stabilization — (IS) is a family of techniques used to reduce blurring associated with the motion of a camera during exposure. Specifically, it compensates for pan and tilt (angular movement, equivalent to yaw and pitch) of a camera or other imaging device. It… …
6Optical character recognition — Optical character recognition, usually abbreviated to OCR, is the mechanical or electronic translation of scanned images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text into machine encoded text. It is widely used to convert books and documents into… …
7Field of view (image processing) — The field of view of an imaging sensor or imaging system is defined as the maximum vertical and horizontal angular extent viewed by the sensor or system. Optical tests for measuring the FOV are versatile tests capable of measuring the FOV of UV,… …
8Optical granulometry — is the process of measuring the different grain sizes in a granular material[1], based on a photograph. Technology has been created to analyze a photograph and create statistics based on what the picture portrays. This information is vital in… …
9Optical transfer function — The optical transfer function (OTF) of an imaging system (camera, video system, microscope etc) is the true measure of resolution (image sharpness) that the system is capable of. The common practice of defining resolution in terms of pixel count… …
10Optical motion tracking — Motion Tracking can differ from Motion Capture because in applications such as sports and missiles the object of interest is tracked optically instead of a person. The technology is basically the same, with some differences in that many of the… …
