Advanced Techniques in Image Processing: A Comparative Study of Convolutional Neural Networks and Traditional Algorithms
Shafir Hussain · International Journal of Emerging Research in Engineering and Technology · 2020
Image processing is a fundamental domain in computer science and engineering, with applications ranging from medical imaging to autonomous vehicles. Traditional image processing algorithms have been the cornerstone of this field for decades, but the advent of deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), has revolutionized the way we approach image-related tasks. This paper provides a comprehensive comparative study of CNNs and traditional image processing algorithms, focusing on their performance, efficiency, and applicability in various domains. We analyze the theoretical foundations, implementation details, and practical implications of both approaches. Through a series of experiments and case studies, we evaluate their performance on tasks such as image classification, object detection, and image segmentation. Our findings highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each technique, providing insights into when and how to choose the most appropriate method for a given application
