IMAGE-PROCESSING IN BASIC - AN EXAMINATION OF ITS POTENTIAL

Three programming applications in BASIC-HIST.BAS for computing histogr ams, HE,BAS for histogram equalised stretch, and NDVI.BAS for deriving the homonymous vegetation index-were constructed in an effort to exam ine the potential of BASIC to support image processing applications wi th concentration given in this study in processing of satellite images . The efficiency of the programs was examined to demonstrate high perf ormances satisfactory for any use in the field of image processing, in cluding educational, research, or operational applications.
