Abstract

Digital image processing has a broad spectrum of applications in today’s modern world. Image processing is the use of computer to process pictures, a technique that has revolutionised in the fields of medicine, geology and space exploration. It has become the hottest area in digital signal processing. In this paper, different techniques used in image processing and its applications are introduced. The brief introduction of mixing of two images, which is known as blending, and its usage in different areas like medical imaging, biological research, seismic data interpretation, film industry and photography are presented in this paper.
