Study Notes
Image Sampling
- Image sampling is a process of creating a digital image from data acquired by a camera or other imaging instrument
- It requires a two-dimensional pattern to represent measurements (light intensity or color) numerically
- Examples: Lena image sampled with two different sampling structures, resulting in different resolutions (256x256 and 64x64 pixels)
Sampling Frequency
- Sampling frequency affects the resolution of the image
- Lower sampling frequency results in a lower resolution image (e.g., 64x64 pixels)
- Higher sampling frequency results in a higher resolution image (e.g., 256x256 pixels)
Pixels
- A digital image is a two-dimensional array of pixels
- Each pixel corresponds to a small square area of the image
- Pixels are indexed by x and y coordinates, with x and y taking integer values
Quantization
- Quantization is the process of digitizing the value of the image function f(x, y)
- It involves replacing a continuously varying f(x, y) with a discrete set of quantization levels
- The accuracy of quantization depends on the number of quantization levels used
Effects of Reducing Number of Samples
- Reducing the number of samples can result in a loss of detail and a checkerboard pattern effect
- Examples: subsampling an image from 1024x1024 to 512x512, 256x256, and 32x32 pixels
- The effects of reducing the number of samples become more pronounced as the image size decreases
Quantization of an Image
- Quantization of an image involves representing the brightness of each pixel by an integer value
- The number of quantization levels determines the accuracy of the representation
- Examples: quantization with 8 bits per pixel (256 reconstruction levels), 4 bits per pixel (16 reconstruction levels), and 2 bits per pixel (4 reconstruction levels)
