Flashcards
Spatial Filtering
Spatial Filtering
A type of operation that manipulates pixels in an image based on neighboring values. It's like applying a mask to the image.
Coefficients
Coefficients
Specialized sets of numbers used in spatial filtering. These weights influence the effect of neighboring pixels on a central pixel.
Noise Reduction
Noise Reduction
An operation that reduces noise by blurring the image, often using a spatial filter with an odd-sized mask.

Study Notes
Image Preprocessing
- Blurring is used to remove small details from an image prior to object extraction and to bridge small gaps in lines or curves.
- Blurring can be used for noise reduction, which can be accomplished using linear and nonlinear filters.
Averaging Filters
- Averaging filters, also known as low-pass filters, work by replacing the value of every pixel with the average of the gray levels in the neighborhood.
- This process reduces "sharp" transitions in gray levels, resulting in noise reduction and blurring of edges.
Weighted Average Filter
- Weighted average filters reduce blurring in the smoothing process by weighting the center point the highest and reducing the value of the coefficients as a function of increasing distance from the origin.
Arithmetic and Logic Operations
- Arithmetic and logic operations are performed on a pixel-by-pixel basis between two or more images.
- NOT operation is an exception, which performs only on a single image, and is a negative transformation.
- Logic operations process pixel values as binary numbers, where light represents a binary 1 and dark represents a binary 0.
Image Enhancement
- Image enhancement can be achieved by setting the lower-order bit planes to zero, which removes fine detail and results in a visually identical image with a slight drop in overall contrast.
- Histogram equalization can be used to perform contrast stretching transformation, which enhances the differences between images.
Spatial Filtering
- Spatial filtering can be done using a filter (also called a mask, kernel, template, or window).
- The values in a filter sub-image are referred to as coefficients, rather than pixel values.
- Masks of odd sizes (e.g. 3x3, 5x5) are used, and the filter mask is moved from point to point in an image to calculate the response at each point.
Smoothing Spatial Filters
- Smoothing spatial filters are used for blurring and noise reduction.
