Image processing mainly include the following steps

2. Image Processing for Robotics:

This category mainly concerns with the real-time applications of Image Processing. These applications are used in user-controlled robots, autonomous robots, autonomous machine application.

Some applications can be:

• 
  Industrial Machine Vision for product assembly and inspection.
  
• 
  Automated Target detection and tracking
  
• 
  Finger Print, Iris, Facial Recognition Systems.
  
• 
  Robotic Vision
  
• 
  Autonomous robots and autonomous vehicles.
  

In this article, we saw an intro to the world of Image Processing and some of the major applications of Image Processing. Still, to perform all the above-said techniques, we would need a computing platform and a software. There are many softwares which provide image processing applications in both the above categories, like, MATLAB, OpenCV, Image J, LABVIEW, to name a few. Although In this particular series we are going to talk just about MATLAB. In the next article, we will talk about an introduction to MATLAB.
