Dear
All, We
strongly
believe
that,

“An
Educational
system
isn't
worth
a
great
deal
if
it
teaches
young
people
how
to
make
a
living
but
doesn't
teach
them
how
to
make
life.”

We
strive
hard
here
for
students
to
teach
them
how
to
make
a
life.
Our
department
is
always
working
continuously
for
the
better
upliftment
of
college
and
students. Engineering
is
the
science
of
applying
scientific
concepts
for
improving
quality
of
life.
It
essentially
deals
with
the
application
of
technology
and
balance
the
relation
of
knowledge
and
its
usages.
This
is
the
reason
why
here
ideas
matters
as
much
as
knowledge.
In
our
institution,
students
are
ensured
clarity
of
basic
concepts
of
science
and
also
encouraged
to
come
up
with
innovative
ideas
and
creative
solutions
by
observing
the
practical
needs
of
our
community
from

different
perspectives. A.V.C.O.E.
means
quality
and
commitment
to
student
community.
We
believe
that
each
and
every
student

has
potential
to
be
groomed
to
have
successful
corporate
career.
A.V.C.O.E.
would
mean
the
right
step
to
ultimately
land
up
in
corporate
careers. FIRST YEAR CONVENTION PROGRAM

In DIGITAL IMAGE image processing, the input is a low-quality image, and the output is an image with improved quality. Common image PROCESSING processing include image enhancement, restoration, In computer science, digital image processing is the use encoding, and compression. The first successful of a digital computer to process digital images through an application was the American Jet Propulsion Laboratory algorithm. As a subcategory or field of digital signal (JPL). They used image processing techniques such as processing, digital image processing has many geometric correction, gradation transformation, noise advantages over analog image processing. It allows a removal, etc. on the thousands of lunar photos sent back much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input by the Space Detector Ranger 7 in 1964, taking into data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise account the position of the sun and the environment of the and distortion during processing. Since images are defined moon. The impact of the successful mapping of the moon's over two dimensions (perhaps more) digital image surface map by the computer has been a huge success. processing may be modeled in the form of Later, more complex image processing was performed on multidimensional systems. The generation and the nearly 100,000 photos sent back by the spacecraft, so development of digital image processing are mainly that the topographic map, color map and panoramic affected by three factors: first, the development of mosaic of the moon were obtained, which achieved computers; second, the development of mathematics extraordinary results and laid a solid foundation for human (especially the creation and improvement of discrete landing on the moon. mathematics theory); third, the demand for a wide range of The cost of processing was fairly high, however, with applications in environment, agriculture, military, industry the computing equipment of that era. That changed in the and medical science has increased. 1970s, when digital image processing proliferated as History cheaper computers and dedicated hardware became Many of the techniques of digital image processing, or available. This led to images being processed in real-time, digital picture processing as it often was called, were for some dedicated problems such as television standards developed in the 1960s, at Bell Laboratories, the Jet conversion. As general-purpose computers became faster, Propulsion Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of they started to take over the role of dedicated hardware for Technology, University of Maryland, and a few other all but the most specialized and computer-intensive research facilities, with application to satellite imagery, operations. With the fast computers and signal processors wire-photo standards conversion, medical imaging, available in the 2000s, digital image processing has videophone, character recognition, and photograph become the most common form of image processing, and enhancement.[3] The purpose of early image processing is generally used because it is not only the most versatile was to improve the quality of the image.
