Jupiter Litho
What Is a False-Color Composite? When most of us think of light, we naturally think about the light we can see with our eyes. But did you know that visible light is only a tiny fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum? You see, the human eye is only sensitive to certain wavelengths of light, and there are many other wavelengths, including radio waves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays. When astronomers observe the cosmos, some objects are better observed at wavelengths that we cannot see. In order to help us visualize what we're looking at, sometimes scientists and artists will create a false-color image. Basically, the wavelengths of light that our eyes can't see are represented by a color (or a shade of grey) that we can see. Even though these false-color images do not show us what the object we're observing would actually look like, it can still provide us with a great deal of insight about the object. A composite is an image which combines different wavelengths into the same image. Since a composite isn't what an object really looks like, the same object can be represented countless different ways to emphasize different features. On the reverse are nine images of the planet Jupiter. The first image is a visible-light image, and shows the planet as it might look to our eyes. This image is followed by two false-color images, one showing the planet in the ultraviolet spectrum, and one showing it in the infrared spectrum. The six composites that follow are all made from the first three images, and you can see how different the planet can look! Definitions composite – An image that combines several different wavelengths of light that humans cannot see into one picture. -

It is not always easy to analyze and interpret X-Ray images. The human eye can distinguish only a limited number of gray scale values but can distinguish thousands of color. So it is clear that the human eye can extract more amount of information from the colored image than that of a gray image. So pseudo coloring is very useful in improving the visibility of an image. As we know that in X-Ray images can only perceive gray shades. In detecting edges of dark hues like Violet, Indigo, Blue and Green [2]. Organs and tissues within the body contain magnetic properties. MRI involves radio waves and magnetic field (instead of X-rays) and on another side, a computer is used to Fig. 3: X-Ray Image of hand after repetitive line tracking manipulate the magnetic elements and generate highly detailed method is applied images of organs in the body. -

Demosaicking: Color Filter Array Interpolation [Exploring the Imaging
[Bahadir K. Gunturk, John Glotzbach, Yucel Altunbasak, Ronald W. Schafer, and Russel M. Mersereau] FLOWER PHOTO © PHOTO FLOWER MEDIA, 1991 21ST CENTURY PHOTO:CAMERA AND BACKGROUND ©VISION LTD. DIGITAL Demosaicking: Color Filter Array Interpolation [Exploring the imaging process and the correlations among three color planes in single-chip digital cameras] igital cameras have become popular, and many people are choosing to take their pic- tures with digital cameras instead of film cameras. When a digital image is recorded, the camera needs to perform a significant amount of processing to provide the user with a viewable image. This processing includes correction for sensor nonlinearities and nonuniformities, white balance adjustment, compression, and more. An important Dpart of this image processing chain is color filter array (CFA) interpolation or demosaicking. A color image requires at least three color samples at each pixel location. Computer images often use red (R), green (G), and blue (B). A camera would need three separate sensors to completely meas- ure the image. In a three-chip color camera, the light entering the camera is split and projected onto each spectral sensor. Each sensor requires its proper driving electronics, and the sensors have to be registered precisely. These additional requirements add a large expense to the system. Thus, many cameras use a single sensor covered with a CFA. The CFA allows only one color to be measured at each pixel. This means that the camera must estimate the missing two color values at each pixel. This estimation process is known as demosaicking. Several patterns exist for the filter array. -
