Image files are basically arrays (matrices) of numbers, so image processing is just number processing

Light Scattering
We have been treating light as rays: straight lines If you zoom way in, recall that light is really a WAVE Ray optics dont work anymore, and we consider something called scattering
Scattering is the reason the sky is blue, sunsets are red, why you can see a laser beam in the air

Rayleigh Scattering
The simplest type of scattering is called Rayleigh scattering The rule you need to remember about Rayleigh scattering is that: The shorter the wavelength of the incident light, the more light is scattered In other words, Blue light scatters more than red light

Blue Sky
Concept Question
We see the sky as blue because of sunlight scattering off of particles in the atmosphere. The moon has no atmosphere. Standing on the moon, what color does the sky look when the sun is shining? (during the moons daytime) A. Blue B. Red C. Black D. Some other color

Polarization
To understand polarization, we need to review something we did back in lecture 3! Light as an electromagnetic wave
Electromagnetic Waves
The polarization is defined as the direction of oscillation of the electric field

Un-polarized light
Light waves are un-polarized if their electric fields are rapidly and randomly varying

Polarizing Filters
A polarizing filter (used in sunglasses, camera filters, 3D movies, etc) is a device that transmits light with one polarization only, and rejects all other polarizations There are two main ways to do this:
Absorb the incorrectly polarized light Reflect the incorrectly polarized light
