image processing programming

Hello everyone..... i am acquainted with C++ , but I am very new to digital image processing...I have hardly any clue about the sytax and terms used in image processing... and i am given an assignment on it ... can any of you please tell me as to where i can find tutorial or something where i can understand the terms and functions related to image processing starting from how to upload a file to thresholding functions ...basically just everything about programming in image processing using Visual C++
The best way to manipulate any kind of files, is knowing first, how to obtain data from them.
Have a look to this:

If you want more about file formats, try Wikipedia.
When you had loaded the image in your application, you will be able to process each pixel.

Good luck gpht.

OpenCV library from Intel is a good option for you. Download it from Sourgeforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencv/) and follow some OpenCV tutorial or wiki (http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/). It is very nice.
Do you have to also display the image? Or just load the data from the file?
