Image Processing Task

An Image Processing Task is an information processing task whose input are image artifacts.

Context:
- Inputs: image data, image files, pixel arrays, ...
- Outputs: processed images, image features, image analysis results, ...
- Performance Measures: image processing accuracy, processing speed, output quality, ...
- ...
- It can range from being a Simple Image Processing Task to being a Complex Image Processing Task, depending on processing complexity.
- It can range from being a Digital Image Processing Task to being an Analog Image Processing Task, depending on signal type.
- It can range from being a Low-Level Image Processing Task to being a High-Level Image Processing Task, depending on processing abstraction.
- It can range from being a Single-Channel Image Processing Task to being a Multi-Channel Image Processing Task, depending on image dimension.
- It can range from being a Real-Time Image Processing Task to being a Batch Image Processing Task, depending on processing timing.
- It can range from being a Local Image Processing Task to being a Global Image Processing Task, depending on processing scope.
- It can range from being a Human-Performed Image Processing Task to being an Automated Image Processing Task, depending on execution agent type.
- ...
- It can implement Image Processing Algorithms for transforming image data.
- It can utilize Image Processing Models for analyzing visual content.
- It can support Image Enhancement through various processing techniques.

- ...
Example(s):
- Image Data Analysis Tasks, such as:
  - an Image Segmentation Task that divides images into meaningful regions.
  - an Image Recognition Task that identifies objects and patterns.
  - an Image Classification Task that categorizes image content.
- Image Enhancement Tasks, such as:
  - a Noise Reduction Task that improves image quality.
  - a Contrast Enhancement Task that adjusts image visibility.
- Image Transformation Tasks, such as:
  - an Image Resizing Task that modifies image dimensions.
  - an Image Format Conversion Task that changes file formats.
- Image Feature Extraction Tasks, such as:
  - an Edge Detection Task that identifies boundaries.
  - a Texture Analysis Task that characterizes surface patterns.
- ...
Counter-Example(s):
- Natural Language Processings, which process text rather than images.
- Document Processing, ...
- Audio Processings, which work with sound signals instead of visual data.
