Image Processing Toolbox provides a comprehensive set of reference-standard algorithms and workflow apps for image processing, analysis, visualization, and algorithm development. You can perform image segmentation, image enhancement, noise reduction, geometric transformations, and image registration using deep learning and traditional image processing techniques. The toolbox supports processing of 2D, 3D, and arbitrarily large images.
Image Processing Toolbox apps let you automate common image processing workflows. You can interactively segment image data, compare image registration techniques, and batch-process large data sets. Visualization functions and apps let you explore images, 3D volumes, and videos; adjust contrast; create histograms; and manipulate regions of interest (ROIs).
Many toolbox functions support C/C++ code generation for desktop prototyping and embedded vision system deployment.

Capabilities, Documentation, and Examples
Image processing is a set of techniques for manipulating and analyzing 2D images and 3D volumes. It is used in various industries, such as photography, medicine, robotics, and remote sensing. Image Processing Toolbox lets you enhance, filter, denoise, register, and segment images and volumes.
Image Analysis
Extract meaningful information from images, such as finding shapes, counting objects, identifying colors, or measuring object properties.
Image Segmentation
Determine region boundaries in an image using different approaches including automatic thresholding, edge-based methods, and morphology-based methods.
Image Registration
Align images to enable quantitative analysis or qualitative comparison using intensity-based, multimodal, and non-rigid registration techniques.
3D Image Processing Workflows
Visualize and perform complete image processing workflows on 3D volumes.
Image Preprocessing
Enhance contrast, remove noise, and correct blurring using contrast adjustment, morphological operators, and custom or predefined filters.
Deep Learning in Image Processing
Use deep neural networks to perform image processing tasks such as denoising, image-to-image translation, and segmentation.
Hyperspectral Image Processing
Read, write, and visualize hyperspectral data in a variety of file formats and process the data using algorithms such as Smile reduction, NDVI, or identifying spectral indices.
Apps for Exploration and Discovery
Use apps to explore and discover various algorithmic approaches. With the Color Thresholder app, you can segment an image based on various color spaces. Image Region Analyzer app allows you to calculate the properties of regions in binary images.
Acceleration and Deployment
Automatically generate C/C++, CUDA®, and HDL code for prototyping and deploying image processing algorithms to CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs.
