Definition: image processing
(1) The analysis of a picture using techniques that can identify shades, colors and relationships that cannot be perceived by the human eye.

It deals with images in bitmapped graphics format that have been scanned in or captured with digital cameras.
(2) Any image improvement, such as refining a picture in a paint program that has been scanned or entered from a video source.
(3) Same as imaging.
