The history of digital image processing can be traced back to the 1920s when digital images were transferred between London and New York. However in the past the cost of processing was very high because the imaging sensors and computational equipments were very expensive and had only limited functions. As a result the development of digital image processing was limited. As optics imaging sensors and computational technology advanced image processing has become more commonly used in many different areas. Some areas of application of digital image processing include image enhancement for better human perception image compression and transmission as well as image representation for automatic machine perception. Most notably digital image processing has been widely deployed for defense and security applications such as small target detection
