Abstract
Recently, the growth of technology-oriented mechanisms has led to the rapid acceleration of progress and increased need for image processing tools and related mechanisms. Therefore, the demand of experts to learn and develop these technologies is increasing at a fast pace and it shows the need of different fields for this technology. Image processing has always been considered as an important achievement in the field of artificial intelligence because image processing has been able to provide us with many services and data. In this article, an attempt has been made to examine the important applications of image processing. Also, due to the importance of the subject, this article examines the achievements and challenges of image processing. The application of image processing in each of the fields discussed in the article is very wide. The importance of image processing has multiplied in recent years and is predicted to become more important in the next years. It is predicted that image processing will change the relationship between humans and computers in a surprising way.
