Importance and necessity of digital image processing stems from two principal application areas: the first being the Improvement of pictorial information for human interpretation and the second being the Processing of a scene data for an autonomous machine perception. Digital image processing has a broad range of applications such as remote sensing, image and data storage for transmission in business applications, medical imaging, acoustic imaging, Forensic sciences and industrial automation. Images acquired by satellites are useful in tracking of earth resources, geographical mapping, and prediction of agricultural crops, urban population, weather forecasting, flood and fire control. Space imaging applications include recognition and analyzation of objects contained in images obtained from deep space-probe missions. There are also medical applications such as processing of X-Rays, Ultrasonic scanning, Electron micrographs, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging, etc.
