Questions and Answers

What is the main goal of applying Gaussian smoothing to an image?

  • To detect specific features within the image
  • To enhance the edges of objects in the image
  • To increase the contrast of the image

Study Notes

Image Processing in Python

  • Image processing in Python involves various techniques for enhancing, modifying, and analyzing images.
  • Image filters are used to enhance or remove features, encompassing smoothing, sharpening, and edge detection.
  • Image processing operations often work on sections called neighborhoods rather than processing the whole image.
  • Edge detection is a technique to find object boundaries within images. Edge detection identifies boundaries based on luminance differences and helps extract object shape information.
  • The Sobel filter is a specific edge detection technique.
  • Gaussian smoothing can reduce noise and blur an image. A Gaussian kernel is used in this process, which resembles a bell curve.
  • Contrast enhancement increases the perceived differences between light and dark areas of an image, making details more apparent. Lower contrast images may be challenging to analyze.
  • Histograms visually represent the distribution of pixel intensities in an image, aiding in contrast analysis.
  • Contrast stretching adjusts intensity values to a desired range, enhancing contrast.
  • Histogram equalization redistributes intensity levels to create a more uniform histogram, also enhancing contrast.
  • Adaptive histogram equalization applies histogram equalization to regions within the image to preserve detail while increasing contrast.
  • Morphological operations alter objects within images, used to refine shapes and remove imperfections (especially in binary or black and white images).
  • Dilation enlarges objects, adding pixels to their edges.
  • Erosion shrinks objects, removing pixels on their edges.
  • Structuring elements, or kernels, are small matrices used in morphological operations, defining the way each dilation or erosion operation alters the image.
  • Libraries like scikit-image provide functions to execute these operations. Functions for various operations like rotation, rescaling, resizing, binary erosion and dilation are available within the library.
  • Resizing of images changes the overall dimensions in pixels.
  • Rescaling of images maintains proportionality and can reduce issues associated with aliasing.
  • Aliasing refers to distortions in pixel resolution when an image undergoes resizing or pixelation, often appearing as rippling or wavy effects. Anti-aliasing mitigation controls this effect.
