Abstract This paper is about a selected few image processing applications. Optical Character Recognition is the translation of images of handwritten‚ typewritten or printed text into machine-editable text. Then I have introduced the captcha that we so frequently encounter in common websites. An algorithm trying to solve or break a captcha has been explained. Face detection is a growing and an important tool in security these days. It must be applied before face recognition. There are many

NOISE REDUCTION BY USING FUZZY IMAGE FILTERING ABSTRACT The existing system available for fuzzy filters for noise reduction deals with fat-tailed noise like impulse noise and median filter. Only impulse noise reduction uses fuzzy filters. Gaussian noise is not specially concentrated; it does not distinguish local variation due to noise and due to image structure. The proposed system presents a new technique for filtering narrow-tailed and medium narrow-tailed noise by a fuzzy filter. The system

The Discarded Image A common saying is that “ you can’t know where you’re going until you know where you’ve been” which means that if you do not learn the history of the world and culture around yourself‚ then one cannot expect to succeed in life. This is a valid opinion however‚ history has shown us that there have been many disputes about beliefs and ideas in the past that have caused conflicts‚ even wars‚ and have affected the views and lives of many post-generations including ours.

compression. Section IV describes the lossy compression and section V describes the conclusion of data compression. II. DATA COMPRESSION Data compression is the representation of an information source (e.g. a data file‚ a speech signal‚ an image‚ or a video signal) as accurately as possible using the fewest number of bits. Data compression is about storing and sending a smaller number of bits. Although many methods are used for this purpose‚ in general these methods can be divided into two

In ‘The Rhetoric of the Image’ Roland Barthes utilises an advertisement from Italian food company ‘Panzini’ in order to illustrate the three types of messages identifiable within an image. He describes these messages as ‘linguistic’‚ ‘non-coded’ and ‘coded’ messages. He identifies how images can hold significance for the reader beyond their literal meaning. Firstly‚ one can apply the first of three messages that Barthes articulates‚ the ‘linguistic’ message. The linguistic message can be described

How are images of crime becoming "Real" as crime itself? The media’s interaction with the Australian Criminal Justice system has a substantial impact on society’s perception of how images of crime are becoming as "Real" as crime itself. This acquires the public’s perceptions of the world we live in‚ when individuals substitute media to progress and expand it creates different viewpoints and attitudes‚ which are understood differently depending on the individual. Every individual has some form of
