This document provides an introduction to image processing and artificial intelligence. It defines what an image is from different perspectives including in literature, general terms, and in computer science as an exact replica of a storage device. It describes image processing as analyzing and manipulating images with three main steps: importing an image, manipulating or analyzing it, and outputting the result. It also discusses what noise is in images, methods to remove noise, color enhancement techniques, sharpening images to increase contrast, and segmentation and edge detection.
