image processor

Visual data manipulator

An image processor is hardware or software that manipulates digital images—adjusting colors, sharpening details, applying filters, or converting formats.

Dedicated image processors in cameras and phones handle tasks like noise reduction and exposure correction in real time.

In computing, image processing software ranges from simple editors to complex tools for medical imaging or satellite photography.
