Summary

This chapter included several useful techniques to manipulate the values of grayscale image pixels. At the same time, it provided a first, hopefully gentle, introduction to writing and running your own scripts and functions in MATLAB. More specifically, you have been taught:

The next chapter will introduce you to morphological operations and their importance in image processing. Some methods already presented will be combined with the morphological operations to enhance images, or segment useful areas. Once finishing it, you will be able to perform extremely useful tasks that are applied both in computational photography and in machine vision applications.
