Digital Imaging

Digital imaging is the creation of digital images from a physical object. This term often assumed to imply or include the processing, compression, storage, printing, and display of such images.

A digital image can be created directly from a physical scene by using camera or any other similar device. It can also be obtained from photographs, photographic film, printed paper through scanner or some other similar device. The process of digital image includes the use of computer algorithms which perform image processing on digital images. This allows a wider range of algorithms which can be applied on to input data and can avoid problems related to noise build-up and distortion of signal during the processing period.

Digital image processing chips are also included in the digital cameras which help them to convert color corrected standard file format image from the image sensor raw data. Digital image processing is done with the help of special software programs which can manipulate the images in different ways.
The use of Digital Image Processing allows complex algorithms for image processing, and hence is able to offer more sophisticated performance at simple tasks, and the implementation of methods which were impossible through analog means. Talking about the uses of digital image processing, this is the only technology for:- classification, projection, multi-scale analysis, feature extraction. There are many offshore software development company in India which provide digital imageing.
