Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between spatial correlation and spatial convolution?

The padding method used
The sum of products computation
The rotation angle of the kernel (correct)
The size of the kernel

How does spatial convolution handle an edge of the image when the mask partly falls outside the image?

Rotate the kernel
Ignore the edges
Replicate padding
Mirror padding/symmetric (correct)

What happens if a kernel used in spatial filtering is asymmetric about its center?
