State the applications of Image Processing and list the examples

Digital image processing has a broad spectrum of applications, such as remote sensing via satellites and other spacecrafts, image transmission and storage for business applications, medical processing, radar, sonar, robotics and automated inspection of industrial parts.
Images acquired by satellites are useful in tracking of earth resouces, geographical mapping, predicton of agricultural crops, urban growth, weather, flood and fire control and many other environmental applications. Space image applications include recognition and analysis of objects contained in images obtained from deep space-probe missions. Image transmission and storage applications occur in broadcast television, teleconferencing, transmission of facsimile images (printed documents and graphics) for office automation, commution over computer networks, closed-circuit television based security monitoring systems, and in military communications. In medical applications one is concerned with the processing of chest X-rays, cineamgiograms, projection images of transaxial tomography, and other medical images that occur in radiology, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ultrasonic scanning. These images may be used for patient screening and monitoring or for detection of tumors or other diseases in patients. Radar and sonar images are used for detection and recognition of various types of targets or in guidance and maneuvering of aircraft or missile systems.

The applications of image processing are:

  1. Agricultural (Fruit grading, harvest control, seeding, fruit picking ...)
  2. Communications (compression, video conferencing, television, ...)
  3. Character recognition (printed and handwritten)
  4. Commercial (Bar code reading, bank cheques, signature, ...)
  5. Document processing (Electronic circuits, mechanical drawings, 
  6. music, ...)
  7. Human (Heads and faces, hands, body, ...)
  8. Industrial (Inspection, part pose estimation and recognition, control...)
  9. Leisure and entertainment (museums, film industry, photography,...)
  10. Medical (X-rays, CT, NMR, ultrasound, intensity, ...)
  11. Military (Tracking, detection, etc)
  12. Police (Fingerprints, surveillance, DNA analysis, biometry, ...)
  13. Traffic and transport (Road, airport, seaport, license identification, ...)
