7. Arithmetic Operations¶
Reading Assignment
Please read section 12.3 of [RVC], chapters 6 and 8 and sections 9.4 and 15.2 of [PIVP].
Arithmetic operations are performed on a pixel-by-pixel basis independent of both the location of each pixel in the image and other nearby pixels. Such operations are fundamental to many image processing applications, but are, in general, less important to machine vision. Thus, we will attempt to fairly quickly cover this material.
7.1. Monadic Operations¶

Figure 12.7 from [RVC]. Monadic operations process the intesity levels of the pixels of one input image producing one output image.
7.2. Diadic Operations¶

Figure 12.9 from [RVC]. Diadic operations process two input images with one output image based on a pixel by pixel combination of the two images.
