1、Digital Image ProcessingChapter 11:Image Description and Representation12 September 2007Image Representation and Description? Objective:To represent and describe information embedded inan image in other forms that are more suitable than the image itself.Benefits:- Easier to understand- Require fewer

2、 memory, faster to be processed- More “ready to be used”What kind of information we can use?- Boundary, shape- Region- Texture- Relation between regionsShape Representation by Using Chain Codes Chain codes: represent an object boundary by a connected sequence of straight line segments of specified l
