Image Filtering and Restoration

Various filtering techniques for image restoration and noise removal.

Spatial Filters: Mean filter, Gaussian filter, Median filter, Laplacian filter, Sobel filter, Prewitt filter.

Frequency Domain Filters: Ideal low-pass, high-pass filters, Butterworth filters, Gaussian filters. Restoration Techniques: Inverse filtering, Wiener filtering, Constrained least squares filtering. Noise Removal: Adaptive filters, wavelet-based denoising, non-local means filtering.

Color Image Processing

Processing techniques specifically for color images.

1. Color Models: RGB, CMY, CMYK, HSI, HSV color spaces
2. Color Transformations: Color complements, color slicing, tone transformations
3. Color Image Smoothing: Averaging in RGB and HSI color spaces
4. Color Image Sharpening: Using Laplacian in RGB space
5. Color Segmentation: Based on color properties and thresholds

Tip: Convert to appropriate color space before processing for better results.

Image Compression Methods

Techniques for reducing image file size while maintaining quality.

1. Lossless Compression: Huffman coding, Run-length encoding, LZW compression

6. Compression Ratio: Calculating and comparing compression performance
7. Quality Metrics: PSNR, MSE for compressed image evaluation
8. Implementation: MATLAB functions for image compression

WARNING! Lossy compression permanently removes image data - keep original files.

Morphological Operations
