QUESTION 1:

Which of the following statements is (are) true?

Statement 1: f(x, y) cannot be reconstructed by using f(x, y) = H −1 (g(x, y) − η(x, y)) in
degradation model because it requires a solution to a large number of simultaneous linear
equations.

Statement 2: Actual degradation function is seldom known completely during image

restoration.
Statement 3: Mathematical modeling for degradation cannot take into account
environmental conditions that cause degradation.

a) Statement 1: True Statement 2: True Statement 3: True

b) Statement 1: True Statement 2: True Statement 3: False
c) Statement 1: False Statement 2: True Statement 3: False
d) Statement 1: False Statement 2: False Statement 3: True

Correct Answer: b.

Detailed Solution:

For solving exactly f(x, y) = H −1 (g(x, y) − η(x, y)) and the number of variables would very large
(of the size of the image) and difficult to reconstruct using this relation. Consequently, in image
restoration, we never know the exact degradation function.

Appropriate mathematical modeling for degradation can take into account environmental
conditions that cause degradation.

Hence option b is correct.

QUESTION 2:

The following equation corresponds to which of the following filter

1
H(u, v) = Do 2n
1+ [ ]
D(u,v)
Where, n is a positive integer, Do is cut-off frequency?

a) Gaussian High Pass Filter

b) Butterworth Low Pass Filter
c) Butterworth High Pass Filter
d) Gaussian Low Pass Filter

Correct Answer: c.

Detailed Solution:
1
H(u, v) = D 2n corresponds to Butterworth high pass filter.
1+ [ o ]
D(u,v)

Hence option c is correct.

QUESTION 3:

A function is linear position invariant if it satisfies _________

a) Only homogeneity
b) Only position variance
c) Both a and b
d) None of the above mentioned

Correct Answer: d.

Detailed Solution:

A function is linear if it satisfies homogeneity and additivity. A function is position invariant if it

satisfies position invariance.

Hence option d is correct

QUESTION 4:

Which of the following function satisfies linearity property?

a) x  4t
b) x  2t 3  3
c) Both a and b
d) None of the above mentioned

Correct Answer: a.

Detailed Solution:

x  4t Satisfies additivity and homogeneity property. This is linear.

x  2t 3  3 Satisfies homogeneity but it does not satisfy additivity property. This is non-linear.

Hence option a is correct.

QUESTION 5:

Which of the following filter does not produce ringing effect?

a) Ideal low pass filter

b) Gaussian Low Pass Filter
c) Low Pass Butterworth Filter of very high order
d) All of the above

Correct Answer: b.

Detailed Solution:

Since there is no abrupt change in frequency response of Gaussian low pass filter and low order
Butterworth filter, hence no ringing effect.

Hence option b is correct.

QUESTION 6:

Which of the following fact is true with respect to a low pass filter?
a) The smaller the cut off frequency of a filter results in increased blurring

b) The smaller the cut off frequency of a filter results in decreased blurring

c) Blurring is independent of cutoff frequency.

d) Both a and b

Correct Answer: a.

Detailed Solution:

Higher the frequency content in an image lower will be the blurring. Therefore, for a low pass filter,
the narrower the frequency domain bandwidth, filter results in increased blurring.

Hence option a is correct.

QUESTION 7:

In which of the following filter, the intensity at a particular point in the image, is a product of two
terms, one is the illumination term, other one is the reflectance term is assumed?

a) Homomorphic filter
b) Laplacian filter
c) High Boost filter
d) Gaussian filter

Correct Answer: a.

Detailed Solution:

In homomorphic filter, it is assumed that the intensity at a particular point in the image, is a product
of two terms, one is the illumination term, other one is the reflectance term.

Hence option a is correct.

QUESTION 8:

Which of the following corresponds to Gaussian low pass filter?

 D 2 ( u ,v ) / 2 Do2
a) H (u, v)  e

 D 2 ( u ,v ) / 2 Do2
b) H (u, v)  1  e

c) H (u, v)  
0 if D(u,v)  D0

d) None of these

Correct Answer: a.

Detailed Solution:

 D 2 ( u ,v ) / 2 Do2
Gaussian low pass filter is given as H (u, v)  e .

Hence option a is correct.

QUESTION 9:

In which of the following method estimation of degradation function is required?

a) Image restoration

b) Image enhancement

c) Both a and b

d) None of the above

Correct Answer: a.

Detailed Solution:

In case of image enhancement or simple noise filtering, we do not make use of any of the
degradation model or we do not bother about what is the process which is degrading the image.
Whereas in case of image restoration, we talk about the degradation model, we try to estimate the
model that has degraded the image and using that model we apply the inverse process and try to
restore the image.

Hence option a is correct.

QUESTION 10:

A function is linear position invariant if it satisfies _________

a) Superposition theorem
b) Position invariance
c) Both a and b
d) None of the above mentioned

Correct Answer: c.

Detailed Solution:

A function is linear position invariant if it satisfies superposition principle and position invariance.

Hence option c is correct
