Explain in detail about Color Image Processing.

Color image processing is the analysis, transformation, and interpretation of visual data presented in color. It can produce a range of results from a grayscale conversion of a black and white picture to a detailed analysis of information contained in a photograph taken by a telescope. Digital image processing can involve the use of a variety of programs as well as manual activities performed by people with programming skills. Research and development in this area is ongoing at facilities in private companies as well as academic institutions.
There are a number of applications for color image processing. In image acquisition, where an image is actually taken, whether it is committed to film or stored on a digital device, errors can creep in, or it may be necessary to analyze the image in some way to collect meaningful information. For example, in magnetic resonance imaging, a computer must take the output from the MRI and provide it in a visible form for the user, a form of processing. The program can also perform activities like color-coding areas of the scan for added contrast and visibility.
Some color images require correction of some form before they are ready for use. Image processing of this nature can range from cropping to achieve a more visually interesting image to manual color correction in a corrupted or damaged image. This occurs to prepare pictures for publication and distribution; photographs straight out of a camera may not be suitable for the intended use. Preparation of images for publication can also include conversion to a color pattern used at a printer's, like the RGB color scheme used in offset printing to produce color images.
