This is a part of my campus assignment, Please bear with me if this student identification feels a bit out of place.

With that aside, I’ll start writing.
Image processing, as quoted directly from Wikipedia:
In electrical engineering and computer science, Image processing is any form of signal processing for which the input is an image, such as photographs or frames of video; the output of image processing can be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image. Most image-processing techniques involve treating the image as a two-dimensional signal and applying standard signal-processing techniques to it.
Now, though, image processing is not limited to two-dimensional processing only. We have reached the age where 3D Image processing is (rather) commmon.
Take Fastra, for instance. It is a supercomputer used in processing a series of 2D images, in this case taken from a CT scanner, and processing them into a three-dimensional object that can be viewed from all directions and even sliced to see the inside.
It was not always like this, though. I remember when “Computer image” means a 16-colour mosaic on my old C64 (I’m not that old, I’m just lucky to have seen one). And I remember playing sokoban happily with that kind of condition.
Now, though, we have taken a great step forward. With High-Definition monitors being somewhat affordable and much better tools - Photoshop, GIMP, Matlab - to process images.
And this post comes from someone who is only 20 years-old.
