Bandpass Filters

 Bandpass filter performs the opposite operation of a

bandreject filter.
 Bandpass Filter is obtained from bandreject filter as:
𝐻𝐵𝑃 𝑢, 𝑣 = 1 − 𝐻𝐵𝑅 𝑢, 𝑣
 Performing straight bandpass filtering on an image is
not a common procedure because it generally
removes too much image detail.
 Bandpass filtering is useful in isolating the effects on
an image caused by selected frequency bands.
 This is a useful result because it simplifies analysis
of the noise, reasonably independently of image
content.
Notch Filters
 Rejects (or passes) frequencies in predefined
neighborhoods about a center frequency.
 Due to the symmetry of the Fourier transform, notch
filters must appear in symmetric pairs about the
origin in order to obtain meaningful results.
 One exception - if the notch filter is located at the
origin, in which case it appears by itself.
 Number of pairs of notches and shapes are arbitrary.
 We can also obtain notch fillers that pass, rather than
suppress, the frequencies contained in the notch
areas.
 Their transfer functions are given by:
𝐻𝑁𝑃 𝑢, 𝑣 = 1 − 𝐻𝑁𝑅 𝑢, 𝑣
