- Symbols have their usual meanings.
Q1. For histogram processing, HSI is a better color model because we can perform equalization on [.5]

I. I component II. Both S and I components III. Both H and I components IV All components

Q2. If the Hue component is changed by 360 degrees, the resultant RGB image would look more of [.5]

I. Red II. Magenta III. No change IV. None of the above

Q3. For a given 3x3 magnitude gradient G(x,y), suppose hysterisis thresholding gives the following matrices (left one
is obtained after high threshold and right after low threshold)

0 0 255 0 0 255

100 0 200 0 0 200

0 0 235 50 0 235

Will the value 50 be considered as belonging to edge pixel? T/F. [.5]

Q4. Which of the following cannot be used as a gradient operator [.5]

I. Prewitt II. Laplacian III. Sobel IV. Roberts

Q5. If an image is interpolated and then edge detection is performed, the best results will be in case of [1]

I. nearest neighbor, LoG II. Bilinear, Sobel III. Bicubic, Canny IV. Bicubic, Prewitt

Q6. Suppose a 2x2 matrix is to be segmented using Otsu’ scheme. Let the four pixel values be {0, 0, 0, 1}. Probability
of class1, and Class conditional mean for class 1 and class 2 for a threshold of 1 (all pixels equal to and below the
threshold value will form one class) will be respectively given by [2]

I. (1, 1/4, 0) II. (1, 3/4, 0) III. (1, 0, 1) IV. (3/4, 1/4, 1)

Q15. Two images A and B have prominent lines oriented at finite slopes 𝑚𝐴 and 𝑚𝐵 , where 𝑚𝐵 < 0.2. When a Hough
transform is performed, one can observe a vote at accumulator cell for Image A 𝒜(𝑚𝐴 , 𝑐𝐴 ) and
a vote at accumulator cell for image B 𝒜(1 − 𝑚𝐵 , 𝑐𝐵 ). 𝑐𝐴 and 𝑐𝐵 are the corresponding intercepts for slopes
𝑚𝐴 and 𝑚𝐵 . 𝒜(𝑚𝐴 , 𝑐𝐴 ) simply denotes a cell in slope-intercept axis with the center at (𝑚𝐴 , 𝑐𝐴 ).

i. low, low ii. Low, high iii. High, low iv high, high [1]

Q8. A non-max suppression is to be done on the following 3x3 pixel neighborhood –

X
0 0 255

0 255 255
255 255 255

Y
Find out and draw the direction along which you will compute non-max suppression. Highlight the neighbors against
which non-max suppression is performed for the center pixel. [2]
Ans. Applying x and y gradient operators at the center element, 𝑔𝑥 = −0 + 255, 𝑔𝑦 = −0 + 255 [1]

𝑔𝑦
And gradient direction 𝛼 = 𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑛 (𝑔𝑥 ) = 𝜋/4 perpendicular to edge. [.5]

edge
0 + 0 255

0 255 255
255 255 255
+
Gradient direction

Marked pixels with '+' are used for non-max suppression. The response at center pixel is compared with these two
pixels. [.5]
