Figure 1.13 contains a systematic summary of the hierarchy of image processing operations from illumination to the analysis of objects extracted from the images taken. Investigate, which of the operations in this diagram are required for the following tasks.
1. Measurement of the size distribution of color pigments (Section 1.2.1, Fig. 1.1c)
2. Detection of a brain tumor in a volumetric magnetic resonance tomography image (Section 1.2.2, Fig. 1.5) and measurement of its size and shape
3. Investigation of the diurnal cycle of the growth of plant leaves (Section 1.2.3, Fig. 1.6)
4. Character recognition (OCR): Reading of the label on an integrated circuit (Section 1.2.4, Fig. 1.10a)
5. Partitioning of galaxies according to their form and spectrum into different classes (Section 1.2.4, Fig. 1.12)
