Technology used

Technology used for digital image processing.. means hardware used, software used, Hard disk space, RAM, Matlab version etc

What exactly is your question?

Answer 1

[Matt Kindig]

Hardware/RAM/Disk space: This is a pretty difficult question to recommend on a general basis, as it depends on your specific image processing application, how large your images are, your desired speed, etc. You can run Matlab and do image processing with a fairly low-end laptop, but obviously faster processors and more RAM may (not will) give better performance. I would recommend starting your work on whatever hardware you already have and first identifying the bottlenecks; then you can upgrade based on the needs of your application.

Software: If you want to use Matlab, you'll want to have the Image Processing Toolbox and (possibly) some of the related toolboxes, such as Image Acquisition, Computer Vision, and others. A complete listing can be found here: http://www.mathworks.com/products/

Answer 2

I have done digital image processing on a 12 MHz Motorola 68000 based machine with 512 Kb of memory (after I upgraded) and no hard disk. These days, my cell phone is probably only about 40 MHz and at most 512 Kb of memory and no hard disk, but you can do digital image processing on it as well.

My cellphone too! And it's not even a smart phone!

Correction: the CPU in my cell phone is 231 MHz. But the memory is only 30 Mb.
