Abstract

In computer vision, the first, and often most time-consuming, step in image processing is image-to-image operations. In this step, an input image is mapped into an output image through some local operation that applies to a window around each pixel of the input image. Algorithms that fall into this class include: edge detection, smoothing, convolutions in general, contrast enhancement, color transformations, and thresholding. Collectively, we call these operations low-level vision. Low-level vision is often time-consuming simply because images are quite large—a typical size is 512 × 512 pixels, so the operation must be applied 262,144 times.
