Image-processing applications already range from industrial uses and security systems to transportation and medical technology. The market has annual growth rates extending into the double-digit range. This technology holds the possibility of developing the ultimate machine in the future that would be able to perform the visual functions of human beings. It also forms a core area of research within the computer science and engineering disciplines at most of the top universities and institutes.The future is of dimensional imaging, texture analysis, high-speed cameras, colour recognition and thermography.
Now if we look at the future trends in details we have many new technologies coming up in the field of image processing. Lets look at it one by one...
Image processing technology is waiting to address many unanswered questions. There is every reason to believe that once this technology achieves a level of competence that even modestly approaches that of human vision, and at a competitive cost, the imaging applications will virtually explode.
Now if we look at the future trends in details we have many new technologies coming up in the field of image processing. Lets look at it one by one...
- Leading the digital revolution, chip designers are constantly developing new technologies to satisfy the ever-changing needs of consumers.
- Camera phones with multimedia features serve as an example of such evolving technologies.
- New areas of application is also evolving like document and medical imaging, computer vision & industrial applications, remote sensing & space applications, and military applications.
- Image processing technology leads to business applications such as Electronic Document Management System (EDMS), Workflow, etc, that manage data files and paper documents alike, to make the “paperless office” dream a reality. So, document and medical imaging are the most important applications of image processing technology as of now.
- Users can achieve huge RoI on this through benefits such as reduced storage space cost, instant access to documents, reduced risks of lost or missing documents, and manpower reduction, thereby providing a cost-effective solution, as also increasing organisational efficiency.
- Image processing applications is also finding application in several business areas like banking, financial institutions, telecom, educational institutions, hospitals, manufacturing, insurance, customer care, and government. so in future this area will have immense growth.
- With increasing power and sophistication of modern computing, the concept of computation in image processing can go beyond the traditional, sequential Von Neumann architecture and one could even contemplate optical implementations.
- A major challenge for automatic image analysis is that the sheer complexity of the visual task has been mostly ignored by the current approaches. We (humans) compute, but not necessarily the way most of the present day computer systems do. After all, nature did not know anything about bits and Boolean algebra when vision was created...

Any interview is the biggest hurdle for a fresher, and at times even the experienced candidates don't do good at these, so the insight that you've put is good and the answers are also good and simple, so thanks for sharing the insight sanjay.... |
Nice insight...every day do one thing of which one is afraid of, this will do really good to overcome the fear of failure.... |
Nice one Viktor...as days goes by there is something else that is new that comes along...as that was the case of IT and other industries in the past as every one jumped to this bandwagon... |
