He also discussed Segmentation Based on Edge Detection,Thresholding Method,Region Based Segmentation Methods ,Gray Histogram Technique and Gradient Based Method. He briefed each technique with examples. This session was followed by Dr. R. Sathyabama TCE-Madurai who gave an insight to fundamentals of feature extraction and  explained it in  a lucid matter. On day two, Dr. N.Krishnan, Manonmaniam Sundaranar Univerity delivered lecture on Image acquisition techniques. In a short span of 2 hours, he almost brefied the whole spectrum of image processing including image enhancement and restoration with many examples. In the following session he continued with demonstrations of various programs using IDL.He also explained the scope and issues available for realistic research in High Dynamic Range Imaging.
