10 Questions

What does the horizontal axis represent in the histogram of an image?

Pixel intensities

In a grayscale image, the matrix of pixels is made of numbers between:

0 and 255

What is the purpose of histogram equalization in color images?

To equalize each RGB channel separately

What is the process of spatial filtering used for?

Blurring and noise reduction in the image

What are the two general types of linear spatial filters based on linearity?

Smoothing Spatial Filter and Non-linear Spatial Filter

What is the primary difference between image enhancement algorithms that operate in the spatial domain and those that operate in the frequency domain?

Spatial domain algorithms work directly on pixel values, while frequency domain algorithms use the Discrete Fourier Transform to manipulate frequency coefficients.

What is the purpose of basic intensity transformation functions in spatial processing methods?

To enhance the appearance of an image by applying a gray-level transformation function that maps input pixels to output pixels.

What do frequency domain methods use to convert the 2D function an image represents into an alternate formulation?

Discrete Fourier Transform

In image enhancement, what is the purpose of manipulating the frequency coefficients before applying the inverse transform?

To map the frequency coefficients back to gray-level pixel intensities after manipulation.

What is the general idea behind spatial processing methods in image enhancement?

To apply a gray-level transformation function that maps input pixels to output pixels for enhancing image appearance.

Explore the concepts of spatial and frequency domain image processing techniques in computer vision and image processing. Learn about the algorithms that directly manipulate pixel values and those that utilize mathematical tools like the Discrete Fourier Transform.
