Feature Description
This code performs bit-plane slicing on an image, a technique that decomposes an image into its binary components. Here’s a step-by-step explanation:
Loading and Displaying the Image:
The image (baboon.tiff) is loaded in grayscale, then displayed with the title "Baboon."
Bit-Plane Slicing:
The code creates 8 separate "bit planes" for the image, where each plane corresponds to one bit of each pixel's intensity value.
Each bit plane is extracted by performing a bitwise AND operation between the image and (1 << i), which shifts a binary 1 to the i-th position (from the least significant to the most significant bit).
These bit planes are stored in the list bit.
Displaying Bit Planes:
The code then visualizes each of the 8 bit planes, from the least significant bit (plane 0) to the most significant bit (plane 7), using matplotlib's subplot functionality.
Use Case
Bit-plane slicing is used to analyze and process specific parts of an image’s information:
Image Compression: Less significant bit planes (lower bits) often contain noise or minor details and can be discarded in lossy compression methods to save space.
Image Analysis: The higher bit planes contain the most significant visual details. Analyzing these planes can be useful in applications like object recognition, where minor details are less important.
Watermarking and Steganography: Data can be hidden in the lower bit planes of an image, making it suitable for digital watermarking and steganography.
