Image division is the way toward parceling an Negate

break down. Picture division is ordinarily used
to find articles and limits (lines, bends, and so
on.) in pictures. All the more definitely, picture
division is the way toward doling out a mark to
each pixel in a picture to such an extent that
pixels with a similar name share certain
attributes.
The consequence of picture division is a lot of
fragments that on the whole spread the whole

pixels in a locale are comparable as for some
trademark or figured property, for example,
 Grey scale
Grayscale is a range of monochromatic shades
from black to white. Therefore, a grayscale image
contains only shades of gray and no color. While
digital images can be saved as grayscale (or black
and white) images, even color images
contain grayscale information.

features of interestto the image analyst.
A low pass filter is the basis for most smoothing
methods. An image is smoothed by decreasing the
disparity between pixel values by averaging nearby
pixels (see Smoothing an Image for more
information).Using a low pass filter tends to retain
the low frequency information within an image
while reducing the high frequency information.

Thresholding
Analyzing images using image threshold
techniques. Image threshold is a simple, yet
effective, way of partitioning an image into a
foreground & background. This image analysis
technique is a type of image segmentation that
isolates objects by converting gray
scale images into binary images.
Figure: Low Pass Filter

High-Pass Filtering

A high-pass filter can be used to make an

image appear sharper. These filters emphasize
fine details in the image – exactly the opposite of
the low-pass filter. High-pass filtering works in
exactly the same way as low-pass filtering; it just
uses a different convolution kernel. In the
example below, notice the minus signs for the
adjacent pixels. If there is no change in intensity,
nothing happens. But if one pixel is brighter than

Figure: Histogram
 Histogram Equalization increases image brightness and shifts the histogram
levels to higher input pixel brightness values.
Histogram equalization is a common technique
for enhancing the appearance of images. Suppose
we have an image which is predominantly dark.
Then its histogram would be skewed towards the
lower end of the grey scale and all the image detail
is compressed into the dark end of the histogram. If
we could ‘stretch out’ the grey levels at the dark
end to produce a more uniformly distributed
histogram then the image would become much
clearer. Figure: Brightness
