9. An enhanced image can be obtained as: g(x,y)=f(x,y)-∇2 f(x,y), where Laplacian is being subtracted from f(x, y) the input image. What does this conclude?
a) That the center spike would be negative
b) That the immediate neighbors of center spike would be positive.
c) All of the mentioned
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: For the above given enhanced image the Laplacian subtraction suggest that the center coefficient of Laplacian mask is negative and so the center spike is negative with its immediate neighbors being positive.
10. An enhanced image can be obtained as: g(x,y)=f(x,y)-∇2 f(x,y), where Laplacian is being subtracted from f(x, y) the input image of size M*Non which an operation f(x, y)(-1)x+yis applied.Unlike enhancing in spatial domain with one single mask, it is possible to perform the same in frequency domain using one filter. Which of the following is/are the required filter(s)?
a) H(u, v)= -[1 + u2+ v2].
b) H(u, v)= -[(u – M/2)2+ (v– N/2)2].
c) H(u, v)= [1 + (u – M/2)2+ (v – N/2)2].
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The filter H(u, v)= [1 + (u – M/2)2+ (v – N/2)2] is used to perform the same enhancement in frequency domain like in spatial domain.
11. Why is scaling of Laplacian filtered images necessary?
a) Because it contain high positive values
b) Because it contain high negative value
c) Because it contain both positive and negative values
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: A Laplacian filtered image contain both positive and negative values of comparable magnitudes. So, scaling is necessary.
12. Which of the following fact is true for the masks that includes diagonal neighbors than the masks that doesn’t?
a) Mask that excludes diagonal neighbors has more sharpness than the masks that doesn’t
b) Mask that includes diagonal neighbors has more sharpness than the masks that doesn’t
c) Both masks have same sharpness result
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Including diagonal neighbor pixels enhances sharpness of the image. So, Mask that includes diagonal neighbors has more sharpness than the masks that doesn’t.
