Digital image processingDigital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process s through an algorithm. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over . It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and distortion during processing. Since images are defined over two dimensions (perhaps more) digital image processing may be modeled in the form of multidimensional systems.
Digital imagingDigital imaging or digital image acquisition is the creation of a digital representation of the visual characteristics of an object, such as a physical scene or the interior structure of an object. The term is often assumed to imply or include the , , , printing and display of such images. A key advantage of a , versus an analog image such as a film photograph, is the ability to digitally propagate copies of the original subject indefinitely without any loss of image quality.
Wavelet transformIn mathematics, a wavelet series is a representation of a square-integrable (real- or complex-valued) function by a certain orthonormal series generated by a wavelet. This article provides a formal, mathematical definition of an orthonormal wavelet and of the integral wavelet transform. A function is called an orthonormal wavelet if it can be used to define a Hilbert basis, that is a complete orthonormal system, for the Hilbert space of square integrable functions.
Carrier-to-noise ratioIn telecommunications, the carrier-to-noise ratio, often written CNR or C/N, is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a modulated signal. The term is used to distinguish the CNR of the radio frequency passband signal from the SNR of an analog base band message signal after demodulation. For example, with FM radio, the strength of the 100 MHz carrier with modulations would be considered for CNR, whereas the audio frequency analogue message signal would be for SNR; in each case, compared to the apparent noise.
Quantification (signal)En traitement des signaux, la quantification est le procédé qui permet d'approcher un signal continu par les valeurs d'un ensemble discret d'assez petite taille. On parle aussi de quantification pour approcher un signal à valeurs dans un ensemble discret de grande taille par un ensemble plus restreint. L'application la plus courante de la quantification est la conversion analogique-numérique mais elle doit le développement de sa théorie aux problèmes de quantification pour la compression de signaux audio ou .
Discrete wavelet transformIn numerical analysis and functional analysis, a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is any wavelet transform for which the wavelets are discretely sampled. As with other wavelet transforms, a key advantage it has over Fourier transforms is temporal resolution: it captures both frequency and location information (location in time). Haar wavelet The first DWT was invented by Hungarian mathematician Alfréd Haar. For an input represented by a list of numbers, the Haar wavelet transform may be considered to pair up input values, storing the difference and passing the sum.
Ondelettethumb|Ondelette de Daubechies d'ordre 2. Une ondelette est une fonction à la base de la décomposition en ondelettes, décomposition similaire à la transformée de Fourier à court terme, utilisée dans le traitement du signal. Elle correspond à l'idée intuitive d'une fonction correspondant à une petite oscillation, d'où son nom. Cependant, elle comporte deux différences majeures avec la transformée de Fourier à court terme : elle peut mettre en œuvre une base différente, non forcément sinusoïdale ; il existe une relation entre la largeur de l'enveloppe et la fréquence des oscillations : on effectue ainsi une homothétie de l'ondelette, et non seulement de l'oscillation.
Bruit de mesureEn métrologie, le bruit de mesure est l'ensemble des signaux parasites qui se superposent au signal que l'on cherche à obtenir au moyen d'une mesure d'un phénomène physique. Ces signaux sont une gêne pour la compréhension de l'information que le signal transporte. La métrologie vise donc notamment à connaître leurs origines et à les caractériser, afin de les éliminer et d'obtenir le signal d'origine aussi distinctement que possible. La source du bruit d'origine externe est externe au système physique générant le signal utile et agit par influence sur celui-ci.
Retouche numériqueImage editing encompasses the processes of altering s, whether they are digital photographs, traditional photo-chemical photographs, or illustrations. Traditional analog image editing is known as photo retouching, using tools such as an airbrush to modify photographs or editing illustrations with any traditional art medium. Graphic software programs, which can be broadly grouped into vector graphics editors, raster graphics editors, and 3D modelers, are the primary tools with which a user may manipulate, enhance, and transform images.
Noise (signal processing)In signal processing, noise is a general term for unwanted (and, in general, unknown) modifications that a signal may suffer during capture, storage, transmission, processing, or conversion. Sometimes the word is also used to mean signals that are random (unpredictable) and carry no useful information; even if they are not interfering with other signals or may have been introduced intentionally, as in comfort noise. Noise reduction, the recovery of the original signal from the noise-corrupted one, is a very common goal in the design of signal processing systems, especially filters.
