Digital Image Processing Questions And Answers – Boundary Descriptors

This set of Digital Image Processing Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Boundary Descriptors”.

1. The length of a boundary is one of the boundary descriptors.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The length of a boundary is one of the simple boundary descriptor. The length of the boundary is approximately given by the number of pixels along that boundary.

2. Which of the following of a boundary is defined as the line perpendicular to the major axis?
a) Equilateral axis
b) Equidistant axis
c) Minor axis
d) Median axis
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The minor axis of a boundary is defined as the line perpendicular to the major axis and of such length that a box passing through the outer four points of intersection of the boundary with the two axes completely encloses the boundary.

3. Which of the following is the useful descriptor of a boundary, whose value is given by the ratio of length of the major axis to the minor axis?
a) Radius
b) Perimeter
c) Area
d) Eccentricity
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Eccentricity, which is the ratio of major axis to the minor axis which is one of the important parameter that is used to describe a boundary.

4. The term, Curvature is defined as:
a) Rate of change of area
b) Rate of change of slope
c) Slope
d) Rate of change of diameter
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Curvature of a boundary is defined as the rate of change of slope. In general, as the boundaries tend to be locally ragged, it is difficult to obtain reliable measures of curvature at a point on a digital boundary.

5. If the boundary is traversed in the clockwise direction, a vertex point ‘p’ is said to be a part of the convex segment if the rate of change of slope at ‘p’ is:
a) Negative
b) Zero
c) Non negative
d) Cannot be determined
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: If the boundary is traversed in the clockwise direction and the rate of change of slope at the vertex point is non negative, then that point is said to be in the convex segment.

6. A point ‘p’ is said to be corner point, if the change of slope is less than 100.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: In general, a point ‘p’ is said to be on the straight line segment if the change of slope is less than 100 and said to be at the corner point if the change exceeds 900.

7. Based on the 4-directional code, the first difference of smallest magnitude is called as:
a) Shape number
b) Chain number
c) Difference
d) Difference number
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: We know that, the first difference of a chain coded boundary depends on the starting point. Based on such 4 directional boundary, the first difference of smallest magnitude is called as the shape number of the boundary.

8. The order of shape number for a closed boundary is:
a) Odd
b) Even
c) 1
d) Any positive value
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The order of shape number gives the number of digits in its representation. The value of this order is even for closed boundary and limits the number of possible different shapes.

9. What is the order of the shape number of a rectangular boundary with the dimensions of 3×3?
a) 3
b) 6
c) 9
d) 12
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The order of shape number is also defined as the perimeter of the boundary. Since, given is a rectangle of dimensions 3×3, the perimeter of the rectangle is given as 2(3+3) = 12.

10. The chain code for the following shape is given as:
The chain code for the following shape is 000030032232221211
a) 000030032232221211
b) 003010203310321032
c) 022332103210201330
d) 012302301023100321
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The effective boundary for the given figure is given as
The effective boundary for the given figure is 000030032232221211
So, the chain code is given as 000030032232221211.

11. What is the shape number for the boundary given in the previous figure?
a) 003231023101230123
b) 012301220331023010
c) 133021030012330120
d) 000310330130031303
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The chain code for the boundary is given as 000030032232221211.
We know that, shape number is the first difference of a chain coded boundary. Thus the shape number of the above given boundary will be 000310330130031303.

12. Statistical moments are used to describe the shape of boundary segments quantitatively.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Statistical moments like mean, variance and higher order moments can quantitatively describe the shape of boundary segments.

13. Which of the following techniques of boundary descriptions have the physical interpretation of boundary shape?
a) Fourier transform
b) Statistical moments
c) Laplace transform
d) Curvature
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The statistical moments have an advantage over the other techniques that it helps in the physical interpretation of the shape of the boundary.

14. Statistical moments is sensitive to rotation.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The statistical moment technique of describing the shape of boundary is insensitive of the rotation of the shape. If desired, size normalization can be achieved by scaling the range of values of ‘g’ and ‘r’.
