image processing

Digital picture analysis

Image processing is the manipulation and analysis of digital images by computer.

Raw photographs are enhanced, filtered, compressed, or transformed—adjusting contrast, removing noise, detecting edges, recognizing faces.

The field underlies everything from Instagram filters to medical imaging to self-driving cars: The satellite imagery underwent extensive image processing before analysis.
