What Does an Image Analyst Do?

Image analysis generally uses mathematical models combined with image processing techniques to analyze the underlying features and the upper structure, thereby extracting information with certain intelligence.

The picture shows a hierarchical image analysis process

Object-specific image analysis technology has been applied in industrial, detection, remote sensing, computer, military and other technologies.

In terms of industrial automation: such as robots grasping objects, automatically manipulating wire welding machines and cutting tools, processes related to the manufacture of ultra-large-scale integrated circuits such as wire bonding, wafer alignment, and packaging, and performing large amounts of data on oil well sites or seismic data Monitoring and screening, providing visual feedback on automated assembly and repair.

Detection: Check for sharp corners, short circuits and poor connections on printed circuit boards, inspect impurities and cracks in castings, screen medical images and tomographic images, and routinely screen factory products.

Remote sensing: Cartography, traffic monitoring, resource management, mineral exploration.

Although the research on image analysis has achieved many results, and has been practically applied to specific objects in many fields, there are still many problems in establishing a common theoretical basis, which needs to be further solved. For example, the precise representation of images, the representation of surface information at different resolution levels, the establishment of hierarchical structures of representation, the use and determination of surface color and state information, the process of perceiving motion, the method of obtaining information from optical streams, Methods for applying specialized information to perception.
