4802-5-1: Project Ideas

Weblinks gathered by Edward Griffiths

Summary

This lecture consisted of several ideas that students may want to implement for their final project in Digital Image Processing.

Edge Detection

Edge detection is the act of finding edges in an image.

• http://prettyview.com/edge/nsedge.shtml Contains images to help test edge detection algorithms (.gif format) [3]
• http://www.nada.kth.se/cvap/abstracts/cvap191.html Contains edge detection methodology [4]

Halftoning

Halftoning is the act of converting a grayscale image to black and white while maintaining the illusion of shades of gray, much like a printed newspaper.

• http://www.cs.indiana.edu/pub/techreports/TR513.html Possible halftoning methodology [3]
• http://lspwww.epfl.ch/~victor/publications/abstracts.html Very technical papers -- multiple papers covering halftoning and dithering, some non-related papers as well. [5]
• http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~juancho/paper_copies/htmldither/htmldither.html Special effects produced with halftoning. [3]

Background Removal

Background removal is the act of determining which pixels belong to the “foreground” of an image and which belong to the “background”. The background pixels are then removed.
