B.Tech. - III (INSTITUTE ELECTIVE), 6TH SEMESTER
MID-SEM EXAMINATION, MARCH-2017
SUB: IMAGE PROCESSING & COMPUTER VISION (EC316)

MARKS: 30 TIME: 1.5 Hrs.

Instruction: (i) Assume necessary data wherever required.

(ii) Figure to the right indicates marks.

Q-1 Attempt Any Three (06)

(a) Explain why the discrete histogram equalization technique does not, in general, yield a flat (02)
histogram.

(b) Give a 3×3 mask for performing unsharp masking in a single pass through an image. (02)

(c) Propose a set of gray-level-slicing transformations capable of producing all the individual bit (02)
planes of an 8-bit monochrome image. (For example, a transformation function with the property
T(r) = 0 for r in the range [0, 127], and T(r)=255 for r in the range [128, 255] produces an image
of the 7th bit plane in an 8-bit image.)

(d) What is the difference between Log transformation and Power-law transformation? (02)

Q-2 Attempt The Following (14)

(a) Exponentials of the form er with, α a positive constant, are useful for constructing smooth (03)
2

gray-level transformation functions. Start with this basic function and construct transformation
functions having the general shapes shown in the following Fig.1 (a),(b),(c). The constants shown
are input parameters, and your proposed transformations must include them in their specification.
(For simplicity in your answers, L0 is not a required parameter in the third curve.)

(b) Explain the contrast stretching. In this method as discussed in the class contrast stretching can be (03)
achieved by controlling slope and threshold value. What is the effect on the dynamic ranges when
the slope is greater than one? Assume the slopes value greater than one and justify your answer
by calculating new output range for input range. Assume that the grey levels of input image range
from 0 to 7.

(c) Perform the linear convolution between image f(m,n) and template h(m,n) as shown in Fig.2 (04)

r,z = 0,1,2……..7
For given image Pr(r)

Pr(0) = 0, Pr(1) = Pr(2) = 0.1, Pr(3) = 0.3, Pr(4) = Pr(5) = 0,Pr(6) = 0.4, Pr(7) = 0.1

For target histogram of specification

For given image Pz(z)

Pz(0) = 0, Pz(1) =0.1, Pz(2) = 0.2, Pz(3) = 0.4, Pz(4) =0.2, Pz(5) = 0.1,Pz(6) = Pz(7) = 0
Find the transformation between r and z.

Q-3 Attempt The Following (10)

(a) Take h(x,y) = [1 0; 2 1] and f(x,y) = [3 4; 1 2]. Construct Matrix H. Obtain degraded image g (05)
by using the equation of matrix notation of image restoration. Assume here the given degraded
model is linear shift invariant model and there is no noise in this model.

(b) Obtain the least squares solution for degraded image vector (03)
g=[1 2 2] and H=[2 5 1;3 8 2; 1 0 1].

(c) Write the comparison between the process of enhancement and restoration. (02)
