Development of a user-friendly program:” Real-Time image properties display”

Abstract

Image processing is a well-established field with researches involving its numerous applications and techniques constantly updated. However, there exists a gap in knowledge on the processing of images in real-time. Lately, real-time image processing has grown in applications. Applications which include face detection, traffic management, etc. However, processing of real-time images may require two or more of these toolboxes which may not be compiled either because of the complex coding involved or the low technical expertise of the user. Hence, the need for the design of a user-friendly program that can display the properties of digital images in real-time which this research aims to explore. The user-friendly program will require low technical expertise to operate. It will also collate together useful digital image processing toolboxes. To develop the above program, MATLAB software was used. The program was then compiled and tested with images acquired from various sources, the results of which successfully displayed various properties of images through operations like object detection and face detection in real-time.
