TWO MARK QUESTION with ANSWERS

UNIT I

1. Define Image?
An image may be defined as two dimensional light intensity function f(x, y)
where x and y denote spatial co-ordinate and the amplitude or value of f at any point (x, y) is called intensity or grayscale or brightness of the image at that point.

2. What is Dynamic Range?
The range of values spanned by the gray scale is called dynamic range of an
image. Image will have high contrast, if the dynamic range is high and image will have dull washed out gray look if the dynamic range is low.

3. Define Brightness?
Brightness of an object is the perceived luminance of the surround. Two objects
with different surroundings would have identical luminance but different brightness.

4. Define Tapered Quantization?
If gray levels in a certain range occur frequently while others occurs rarely, the
quantization levels are finely spaced in this range and coarsely spaced outside of it. This method is sometimes called Tapered Quantization.

5. What do you meant by Gray level?
Gray level refers to a scalar measure of intensity that ranges from black to grays
and finally to white.

6. What do you meant by Color model?
A Color model is a specification of 3D-coordinates system and a subspace within
that system where each color is represented by a single point.

7. List the hardware oriented color models?
1. RGB model
2. CMY model
3. YIQ model
4. HSI model

8. What is Hue of saturation?
Hue is a color attribute that describes a pure color where saturation gives a
measure of the degree to which a pure color is diluted by white light.

9. List the applications of color models?
1. RGB model--- used for color monitor & color video camera
2. CMY model---used for color printing
3. HIS model----used for color image processing4. YIQ model---used for color picture transmission

10. What is Chromatic Adoption?
The hue of a perceived color depends on the adoption of the viewer. For example,
the American Flag will not immediately appear red, white, and blue of the viewer has been subjected to high intensity red light before viewing the flag. The color of the flag will appear to shift in hue toward the red component cyan.

11. Define Resolutions?
Resolution is defined as the smallest number of discernible detail in an image.
Spatial resolution is the smallest discernible detail in an image and gray level resolution refers to the smallest discernible change is gray level.

12. What is meant by pixel?
A digital image is composed of a finite number of elements each of which has a
particular location or value. These elements are referred to as pixels or image elements or picture elements or pels elements.

13. Define Digital image?
When x, y and the amplitude values of f all are finite discrete quantities , we call
the image digital image.

14. What are the steps involved in DIP?
1. Image Acquisition
2. Preprocessing
3. Segmentation
4. Representation and Description
5. Recognition and Interpretation

15. What is recognition and Interpretation?
Recognition means is a process that assigns a label to an object based on the
information provided by its descriptors.
Interpretation means assigning meaning to a recognized object.

16. Specify the elements of DIP system?
1. Image Acquisition
2. Storage
3. Processing
4. Display

17. Explain the categories of digital storage?
1. Short term storage for use during processing.
2. Online storage for relatively fast recall.
3. Archical storage for infrequent access.

18. What are the types of light receptors?
The two types of light receptors are
1. Cones and
2. Rods

19. Differentiate photopic and scotopic vision?
Photopic vision Scotopic vision
1. The human being can resolve the fine details with these cones because each one is connected to its own nerve end.
2. This is also known as bright light vision. Several rods are connected to one nerve end. So it gives the overall picture of the image. This is also known as thin light vision.

20. How cones and rods are distributed in retina?
In each eye, cones are in the range 6-7 million and rods are in the range 75-150
million.

21. Define subjective brightness and brightness adaptation?
Subjective brightness means intensity as preserved by the human visual system.
Brightness adaptation means the human visual system can operate only from
scotopic to glare limit. It cannot operate over the range simultaneously. It accomplishes this large variation by changes in its overall intensity.

22. Define weber ratio
The ratio of increment of illumination to background of illumination is called as
weber ratio.(ie) _i/i
If the ratio (_i/i) is small, then small percentage of change in intensity is needed
(ie) good brightness adaptation.
If the ratio (_i/i) is large , then large percentage of change in intensity is needed
(ie) poor brightness adaptation.

23. What is meant by machband effect?
Machband effect means the intensity of the stripes is constant. Therefore it
preserves the brightness pattern near the boundaries, these bands are called as machband effect.

24. What is simultaneous contrast?
The region reserved brightness not depend on its intensity but also on its
background. All centre square have same intensity. However they appear to the eye to become darker as the background becomes lighter.

25. What is meant by illumination and reflectance?
Illumination is the amount of source light incident on the scene. It is represented
as i(x, y).
Reflectance is the amount of light reflected by the object in the scene. It is
represented by r(x, y).

26. Define sampling and quantization

Sampling means digitizing the co-ordinate value (x, y).
Quantization means digitizing the amplitude value.

27. Find the number of bits required to store a 256 X 256 image with 32 gray levels?
32 gray levels = 25
= 5 bits
256 * 256 * 5 = 327680 bits.

28. Write the expression to find the number of bits to store a digital image?
The number of bits required to store a digital image is
b=M X N X k
When M=N, this equation becomes
b=N^2k

30. What do you meant by Zooming of digital images?
Zooming may be viewed as over sampling. It involves the creation of new pixel
locations and the assignment of gray levels to those new locations.

31. What do you meant by shrinking of digital images?
Shrinking may be viewed as under sampling. To shrink an image by one half, we
delete every row and column. To reduce possible aliasing effect, it is a good idea to blue an image slightly before shrinking it.

32. Write short notes on neighbors of a pixel.
The pixel p at co-ordinates (x, y) has 4 neighbors (ie) 2 horizontal and 2 vertical
neighbors whose co-ordinates is given by (x+1, y), (x-1,y), (x,y-1), (x, y+1). This is called as direct neighbors. It is denoted by N4(P)
Four diagonal neighbors of p have co-ordinates (x+1, y+1), (x+1,y-1), (x-1, y-1),
(x-1, y+1). It is denoted by ND(4).
Eight neighbors of p denoted by N8(P) is a combination of 4 direct neighbors and
4 diagonal neighbors.

33. Explain the types of connectivity.
1. 4 connectivity
2. 8 connectivity
3. M connectivity (mixed connectivity)

34. What is meant by path?
Path from pixel p with co-ordinates (x, y) to pixel q with co-ordinates (s,t) is a
sequence of distinct pixels with co-ordinates.

35. Give the formula for calculating D4 and D8 distance.
D4 distance ( city block distance) is defined by
D4(p, q) = |x-s| + |y-t|
D8 distance(chess board distance) is defined by

D8(p, q) = max(|x-s|, |y-t|).

2. Scaling
3. Image rotation

37. What is image translation and scaling?
Image translation means reposition the image from one co-ordinate location to
another along straight line path.
Scaling is used to alter the size of the object or image (ie) a co-ordinate system is
scaled by a factor.

38. What is the need for transform?
The need for transform is most of the signals or images are time domain signal
(ie) signals can be measured with a function of time. This representation is not always best. For most image processing applications anyone of the mathematical transformation are applied to the signal or images to obtain further information from that signal.
