    Study Notes

    Computer Vision: Image Filtering

    • Image filtering is a technique used to modify or enhance an image's visual appearance.
    • It's employed for noise reduction, detail sharpening, edge enhancement, and feature detection.

    Recall: Questions

    • RGB vs. RGBA: RGBA adds an alpha channel (transparency). RGB only deals with color values.
    • Grayscale Intensity Range: Grayscale image intensity ranges from 0 to 255 because each pixel's intensity is represented by an 8-bit value. Values exceeding 255 would be truncated.

    Recall: Data Collection

    • This section includes examples of a collection of reported corruption data and the platforms utilized for reporting.
    • Addresses corruption cases.
    • Includes contact information: Phone numbers and email addresses for victims to report offenses.

    Outline

    • Image Filtering: A process that alters or improves visual images and is used to reduce noise, sharpen details, enhance edges, and identify features within images.
    • Image Filtering Techniques:
      • Gaussian Filter
      • Median Filter
      • Bilateral Filter
      • Sobel Operator
      • Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG)
      • High-Pass Filters
      • Low-Pass Filters
      • Morphological Filters
      • Anisotropic Diffusion
      • Adaptive Filters

    Discussion

    • Groups of Image Filtering Techniques:
      • Group 1: Gaussian Filter, Median Filter
      • Group 2: Bilateral Filter, Sobel Operator
      • Group 3: Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG), High-Pass Filters
      • Group 4: Low-Pass Filters, Morphological Filters
      • Group 5: Anisotropic Diffusion, Adaptive Filters

    Linear Filtering

    • Definition: Modifies images by applying a filter (kernel) to each pixel, considering values from neighboring pixels.
    • Illustration: Displays an input image matrix, a filter matrix, and a resulting output matrix illustrating the calculations. This process effectively blurs or sharpens, depending on the filter used.
    • Practical Use: Essential for manipulating pixels to achieve blur, sharpen, or specific image effects.
    • Padding Techniques:
      • Output smaller than the input
      • Output same size as the input
      • Output larger than the input
      • Methods including zero padding, wrapping around, reflecting across edges, and using the clip filter to control outputs

    Nonlinear Filtering

    • Differs from linear filters, which consider the linear calculations of neighboring pixel values to determine the output pixel. Contrastingly, non-linear methods do not adhere to such linear relationships.
    • A more advanced type of pixel manipulation contrasted with linear, more basic forms of adjustments.

    Hybrid Images

    • Concept: Merging low-frequency and high-frequency information in an image.
      • The Gaussian filter extracts low frequency components
      • The Laplacian of Gaussian filter extracts high frequency components

    Different types of noise

    • Gaussian filtering: Suitable for additive or zero-mean noise, where pixel values in a neighborhood maintain consistency

    Median Filtering

    • Focus on median: Employs the median intensity within a pixel neighborhood as the basis for altering the pixel rather than a weighted average like linear filters.
    • Purpose: Effectively diminishes impulse noise, which are outliers in pixel values.
    • Illustration: A matrix example demonstrates the calculation method, which involves sorting values, and substituting the median value for pixel intensity using a local neighborhood of image data.

    Applying Median Filter

    • This discusses the effects of applying a median filter of different neighborhood sizes on different image data.
