tomention a few.3.3 The Lookup Table and Intensity TransformationAll the above intensity transformation (point-processing) operations can be viewed as directly orindirectly performing a lookup table (LUT) based mapping on the input pixel intensities of animage to produce a new set of output pixel intensities for the corresponding pixels, and therebyproducing a modified image. It should be noted that as the name implies, a lookup table is atable that contains a set of all possible (full range) input intensity values arranged in increasingorder R = { r0=0, r1=1 r2=2 …, rk=k …, rL-1=L-1}, and a corresponding set of output (mapped,reassigned) intensity values S = {s0, s1, s2, …, sk, …, sL-1} into which the input intensity valuesare correspondingly

. Page 14.1111.2Here we should briefly note that there are several different definitions of multidisciplinaryresearch [4], [5], [6]. The terms multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary are often usedinterchangeably, but Borrego & Newswander [3] have provided an excellent discussion of theseterms in the context of engineering education research. They define multidisciplinarycollaborations as those where “collaborators come together to work on a problem, each bringinghis or her own expertise and unique contribution. There is limited exchange of information inthis approach … collaborators leave the project without having learned much about the otherdiscipline(s)” (p.124). On the other hand interdisciplinary collaborations are defined as

Thereport repeatedly emphasizes the importance of science and math achievement as a precursor fortechnical advancement, and relates the poor international showing of US students in math andscience to the declining impact of the US in research, patent issuance and economic andtechnological standing.The primacy of math and science to engineering is a common view that can, in educationalsettings, at least, clash with the objectives of engineering.

Some of the modules may not bein accord with the traditional way the topics within the module have been taught. Thus, there arequestions about which examples to use, which textbooks or supplemental material should beused, and which professor(s) will teach the modules. Questions may also arise when combiningtopics in a module that have been taught individually either in a lecture or laboratory setting.This step requires time, patience and communication with those responsible for teaching thematerial and making the semester schedule
