Today campers were introduced to the world of image processing. Campers examined a variety of digital images using NIH Image software.

The image processing skills involved in today's activities were:

  • making color table changes
  • manipulating the LUT (Look Up Table)
  • making a surface plot

"Today was first day of a computer camp that is sure to have good reviews. I never knew you could do so many incredible things on a computer. It certainly is the information age! The NIH Image software is great!"

 

This camper is looking at an x-ray image of the heart and major arteries. Adjusting the LUT allows him to observe many more details in this digital image.

In this activity, "Mona Makeovers", the campers were able to explore the tools of NIH Image software, as they created a new look for the Mona Lisa.

"I think Camp IPX is one of the best camps I've ever been to. Everything was fun today, especially drawing weird things on the Mona Lisa."

 

Here is an example of the name surface plots. Campers experimented with making the letters raised and depressed.
