Image Processing

A number of programs that deal with images and sounds depend on putting important information in an array and then building a new array by making changes. A good example of this is a program that can modify digital music. It is fairly easy to change the tempo or even the octave of a tune by holding it in a one-dimensional array and then copying while modifying the sounds.

In class we went over an example program that helped the user process images. Operations available were transforming to grayscale, flipping the image either horizontally or vertically, blurring the image, or rotating it. One unusual feature of the program is that we decided to have the first coordinate represent the column rather than the row, so keep that in mind while reading it.
