Abstract

This project seeks to demonstrate the basic principles and techniques of Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing by capturing photographic information for processing by a microcomputer. We propose to do this by building an optical scanner, composed of a light-detecting device mounted on an X-Y plotter driven by an IBM-compatible microcomputer. With this set-up, we are able to digitize images and create routines to demonstrate the basic techniques in image processing, specifically methods involving transformations in the spatial-domain.
