Ppt chapter 6 image enhancement powerpoint presentation. Arabnia, in emerging trends in image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition, 2015. Spatial domain methods are procedures that operate directly on the image pixels, use of spatial masks for image processing spatial filters, and spatial filtering term is the filtering operations that are performed directly on the. The time domain or spatial domain for image processing and the frequency domain are both continuous, infinite domains.
Image enhancement can be done in following two domains. Covers digital negative, negation, bit plane slicing and contrast stretching. This chapter discusses basic image processing in the spatial domain. There is no explicit or implied periodicity in either domain. We simply compute the fourier transform of the image to be enhanced, multiply the result by a filter rather than convolve in the spatial domain, and take the inverse transform to produce the enhanced image.
