Fundamentals of Image Processing in Light Microscopy

Abstract

Publisher Summary Image processing is routinely used by a wide range of individuals who have access to digital cameras and computers. Judicious choice of image-processing routines can greatly enhance an image and can extract features that are not otherwise possible. When applying digital manipulations to an image, it is imperative to understand the routines that are being employed and to make use of well-designed standards when testing them out. With the advent of high-speed digital detectors and computers, near real-time processing involving moderately complicated routines is now possible.
