Chapter Objectives

By reading this chapter you will understand how image processing in the ML is organized and you will be able to differentiate your image processing algorithms between

and you will be able to select the appropriate ways to implement these processing algorithms in the ML.

4.1. Page Calculation in the ML

Page-based image processing is one of the key concepts in the ML, because filtering and analyzing images easily fails when images do not fit into memory.
