The most common kind of digital image processing is Digital Image Editing . HISTORY Many of the techniques of digital image processing, or digital picture processing as it was often called, were developed in the , digital image processing proliferated, when cheaper computers and dedicated hardware became available. Images could then be processed in real time, for some dedicated problems such as Television Standards Conversion . As general-purpose computers became faster, they started to take over the role of dedicated hardware for all but the most specialized and compute-intensive operations. With the fast computers and signal processors available in the 2000s , digital image processing has become the most common form of image processing, and is generally used because it is not only the most versatile method, but also the cheapest. DIGITAL PROCESSING OF CAMERA IMAGES Digital cameras generally include dedicated digital image processing chips to convert the raw data from the image sensor into a color-corrected image in a standard image file format. Images from digital cameras often receive further processing to improve their quality, a distinct advantage digital cameras have over film cameras. The digital image processing is typically done by special software programs that can manipulate the images in many ways. Many digital cameras also enable viewing of Histogram s of images, as an aid for the photographer to better understand the rendered brightness range of each shot. USES Digital Image Processing allows the use of much more complex algorithms for image processing, and hence can offer both more sophisticated performance at simple tasks, and the implementation of methods which would be impossible by analog means. In particular, digital image processing is the only practical technology for: Some techniques which are used in digital image processing include:
