A STUDY OF NEW IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUES

Abstract : The report consists of two independent parts. The first part discusses the idea of iterating the conversion of a continuous-tone picture from binary to gray code representation. A simple recursive function is defined by means of which the value of the ith bit representing a picture point's grey level after the mth iteration is determined. The resulting rearrangement of grey levels as well as that of the bits throughout the planes is discussed. The second part of the report contains information regarding the high-resolution digital picture output system developed at the University of Maryland. (Author)
