Low-Level Image Processing

This chapter covers some basic concepts of low-level image processing. It introduces fundamental methods for two primary image processing tasks, namely contrast enhancement, image smoothing, and edge detection. The chapter also introduces methods of function optimization for searching the optimal configuration of edge points.
