Throughout recent years, many wavelet transforms (WTs) were used in digital image processing: the discrete WT (DWT), the stationary WT (SWT) or the hyperanalytic WT (HWT). All these transforms have in common a feature, the mother wavelets (MW). A great number of MWs was already proposed in literature. The purpose of this paper is the selection of MW for hyperanalytic Bayesian image denoising on the basis of its space-frequency localization. The MW with the same space-frequency localization as the elements of the input image gives the better results. Some procedures for the evaluation of the space-frequency localization of MWs and input images are proposed and applied to optimize the results obtained by the simulations of denoising, indicating the most appropriate MW.

Image thresholding is one of the most frequently used methods in image processing to perform digital image processing. Image thresholding has a technique that can separate the image object from its background. This is a technique that is quite good and effective for segmenting love. In this study, the threshold method used will be combined with the HSV mode for color detection. The threshold method will separate the object and the image background, while HSV will help improve the segmentation results based on the Hue, Saturation, Value values to be able to detect objects more accurately. Segmentation is carried out using the original input image without pre-processing or direct segmentation. As we know that in digital image processing, there are steps that are usually done to get a good input image, namely pre-processing. In this pre-processing stage, processes such as image conversion and image intensity changes are carried out so that the input image is better. Therefore, even though the input image is used without going through the pre-processing stage, the object can be segmented properly based on the color type of the object. The results of this segmentation can later be used for recognition and identification of image objects. The results of the test method for object segmentation achieved a color similarity level of 25%, with an accuracy rate of 75% in detecting uniform color objects. So that this method can be one of the most effective methods in segmenting image objects without pre-processing or direct thresholding

In this project, the primary aim will be the conversion of images into Grayscale in which conversion of pixels to array takes place and apply Blur effect using The Gaussian blur which is a type of image-blurring filter that uses a Gaussian function which also expresses the normal distribution in statistics for calculating the transformation to apply to each pixel in the image. The above two processesare applied to the input images. These two above mentioned processes can be achieved by utilizing the most relevant python libraries and functions, followed by conversion of the digital image to numerical data and then, applying the effects to the image to get back the image with applied effects in it. Face recognition refers to matching a face present in an input image from the training/pre-saved dataset and by applying Deep Learning Concept. This will be achieved by defining a function to read and convert images to data, apply the python function, and then, recreating the image with results.

Background: There are several methods for the quantification of biomass in SSF, such as glucosamine measurement, ergosterol content, protein concentration, change in dry weight or evolution of CO2 production. However, all have drawbacks when obtaining accurate data on the progress of the SSF due to the dispersion in cell growth on the solid substrate, and the difficulty encountered in separating the biomass. Studying the disadvantages associated with the process of biomass quantification in SSF, the monitoring of the growth of biomass by a technique known as digital image processing (DIP), consists of obtaining information on the production of different compounds during fermentation, using colorimetric methods based on the pixels that are obtained from photographs. Objective: The purpose of this study was to know about the state of the technology and the advantages of DIP. Methods: The methodology employed four phases; the first describes the search equations for the SSF and the DIP. A search for patents related to SSF and DIP carried out in the Free Patents Online and Patent inspiration databases. Then there is the selection of the most relevant articles in each of the technologies. As a third step, modifications for obtaining the best adjustments were also carried out. Finally, the analysis of the results was done and the inflection years were determined by means of six mathematical models widely studied. Results: For these models, the inflection years were 2018 and 2019 for both the SSF and the DIP. Additionally, the main methods for the measurement of biomass in SSF were found, and are also indicated in the review, as DIP measurement processes have already been carried out using the same technology. Conclusion: In addition, the DIP has shown satisfactory results and could be an interesting alternative for biomass measurement in SSF, due to its ease and versatility.

Interest in digital image processing techniques dates back to the early 1920's, when digitized pictures of world news events were first transmitted by submarine cable between New York and London. Applications of digital image processing concepts, however, did not become widespread until the middle 1960's, when third-generation digital computers began to offer the speed and storage capabilities required for practical implementation of image processing algorithms. Since then, this area has experienced vigorous growth, having been a subject of interdisciplinary research in fields ranging from engineering and computer science to biology, chemistry, and medicine.

INTRODUCTION.- The physical properties of rock masses are greatly influenced by their internal discontinuities, like pores and fissures. So, these need to be measured as a basis for interpretation. To avoid the basic difficulties of measurement under optical microscopy and analogic image systems, the authors use S.E.M. and multiband digital image processing. In S.E.M., analog signal processing has been used to further image enhancement (1), but automatic information extraction can be achieved by simple digital processing of S.E.M. images (2). The use of multiband image would overcome difficulties such as artifacts introduced by the relative positions of sample and detector or the typicals encountered in optical microscopy.DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING.- The studied rock specimens were in the form of flat deformation-free surfaces observed under a Phillips SEM model 500. The SEM detector output signal was recorded in picture form in b&w negatives and digitized using a Perkin Elmer 1010 MP flat microdensitometer.

Semiconductor-metal composites, formed by the eutectic solidification of silicon and a metal silicide have been under investigation for some time for a number of electronic device applications. This composite system is comprised of a silicon matrix containing extended metal-silicide rod-shaped structures aligned in parallel throughout the material. The average diameter of such a rod in a typical system is about 1 μm. Thus, characterization of the rod morphology by electron microscope methods is necessitated.The types of morphometric information that may be obtained from such microscopic studies coupled with image processing are (i) the area fraction of rods in the matrix, (ii) the average rod diameter, (iii) an average circularity (roundness), and (iv) the number density (Nd;rods/cm2). To acquire electron images of these materials, a digital image processing system (Tracor Northern 5500/5600) attached to a JEOL JXA-840 analytical SEM has been used.

Harmonious use of Z-contrast imaging and digital image processing as an analytical imaging tool was developed and demonstrated in studying the elemental constitution of human and maturing rabbit spermatozoa. Due to its analog origin (Fig. 1), the Z-contrast image offers information unique to the science of biological imaging. Despite the information and distinct advantages it offers, the potential of Z-contrast imaging is extremely limited without the application of techniques of digital image processing. For the first time in biological imaging, this study demonstrates the tremendous potential involved in the complementary use of Z-contrast imaging and digital image processing.Imaging in the Z-contrast mode is powerful for three distinct reasons, the first of which involves tissue preparation. It affords biologists the opportunity to visualize biological tissue without the use of heavy metal fixatives and stains. For years biologists have used heavy metal components to compensate for the limited electron scattering properties of biological tissue.
