MORPHOLOGICAL IMAGE PROCESSING AND INTENSITY TRANSFORMATIONS

The newspaper business was one of the pioneers in the usage of digital photographs and was one of the first businesses to do so. It was also one of the first businesses to make use of images, which were first transported by photographs, which were initially delivered by an underwater cable between London and New York. This connection was made between London and New York. These pictures were sent between the two locations on several occasions, making their way between both of them in a back and forth manner. When the Bartlane cable image transmission system was first put into operation in the early 1920s, the amount of time necessary to transfer a picture across the Atlantic was reduced from more than a week to less than three hours. This was a significant improvement over the previous method of transferring pictures. Before, this process had taken far longer. The images were first encoded via the use of specialised printing equipment in order to make them suitable for transmission through cable. Upon the travellers' arrival at their final location, the encoded photos were deciphered and then reassembled. This technique was used to send Figure 1.1, and its replication was carried out with the help of a telegraph printer that had been altered to contain fonts that approximated a halftone pattern.
