Fig.:Every pixel of 8-bit image is represented by a grey scale leveli.e. between 0 to 255 5. Image description: To extract features that result in some quantitative information of interest or features that are basic for differentiating one class of objects from another.

6. Image recognition: To assign a label to an object based on the information provided by its descriptors.

2. Fundamental Steps in Digital Image Processing7. Image interpretation: To assign meaning to an ensemble of recognized objects.

Knowledge Database:Knowledge about a problem domain is coded into an image processing system in the form of a knowledge database.
