Image Processing as mentioned earlier is being used in many 'down-to-earth' applications. As a matter of fact, an average farmer in USA is already making use of satellite data of his own farms, obtainable on 51" floppy diskettes, covering one quad (71 minutes) of data. He can analyse these data on his personal workstation, for crop monitoring and estimation, crop prediction etc and then take timely remedial steps if so required. As the technology advances further, it is predicated that the hardware prices would drop, thus enabling even a common man to acquire this capability. The capabilities in terms of software development would also improve, and it is hoped that Image Processing would become more popular to be widely used operationally.
