Abstract

In this chapter we deal with the techniques of image processing. These are operations that start with a grey scale (or color) image and return another grey scale image. The next chapter will deal with some additional techniques that operate on grey-scale images for purposes of locating feature edges in the context of isolating features for measurement.
