Analysis of Image superimposing using numerical analysis

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the analysis of image superimposing using numerical analysis, focusing on how to impose one image's brightness or contrast onto another. Participants seek resources and clarification on the technical aspects of image processing, including input formats and programming considerations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests resources for understanding how to superimpose images using numerical analysis and programming.
  • Another suggests comparing average luminances or chrominances of the images as a method of analysis.
  • A participant expresses uncertainty about how to take two images as input and inquires about converting soft copy images into a bit sequence.
  • It is explained that digital images are files describing pixel values, and various file formats exist that dictate how these values are stored.
  • Steps for processing images are outlined, including understanding file reading, brightness and contrast concepts, and programming requirements.
  • A suggestion is made to use HSL color space for adjusting brightness before converting back to RGB values for image recreation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying levels of understanding and uncertainty regarding the technical details of image processing, indicating that multiple perspectives and questions remain unresolved.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include potential gaps in understanding specific file formats, the exact methods for converting images to bit sequences, and the nuances of brightness and contrast adjustments.

Dear,

I need few Resources to get the help for my above topic. The above topic depicts that: one image will be imposed on the other one. and we have to shown it using numerical analysis. of course significant amount of programming effort is here. But I need help regarding resources/articles on how can I crack the idea. if u have any idea, please share with me by giving me link/articles whatever you consider.

thank you

Saugata

Dear Rogerio,
Thank You.I am eagerly waiting for response.It's all my pleasure to get your response quickly. Those 2 are surely a great resource for me.
Yet, I feel to discuss few issues with you. I have a doubt within me regarding this.How can I take 2 images as input? i.e. what should be the input in this case? the sequence of bits?? how to I convert the soft copy image in bits?
Actually, I am asked to impose one's brightness or contrast on other's image. Do you have any suggestion??
 
Hi Saugata Bose!

A digital image (acquired with a digital camera or a scanner, for example) is just a file which describes all the pixels (picture elements) of the image.

The "format" of such files is the way the pixels are described.
Commonly there is a "file header" based on: the size of the digital image (i.e. number of pixels in each line, and number of lines), the way the pixel values are grouped in the file (how they are encoded), etc...
There are several file formats, like BMP, JPG, GIF, etc.

After reading the file generated in a particular format, your program will "understand" the RGB values of each pixel. And then, it could evaluate the average brightness, for instance.

The steps are:
1- to understand how to read the file image.
2- to understand what brightness, contrast,etc, are.
3- to write the program...

PS: if your program needs to "change" the brightness of each pixel, you could use the "HSL space color" for both images, and then recalculate the brightness of each pixel of the first image, according to the brightness of the correspondent pixel of the second image... (and then, the program will have to convert the values to RGB values, in order to recreate the image)
