QUESTION 1:

What is the number of bits required to store a 100 × 100 grayscale image with 60 gray levels?
a) 40000
b) 60000
c) 50000
d) 240000

Correct Answer: (b)

Detailed Solution:

Number of gray levels=60. So we would require 6 bits per pixel.

Image size = 100 × 100 = 10,000 pixels. Number of channels = 1.
Bytes required = No. of pixels × bytes per pixel × No. of channels
= 10,000 × 6 × 1
= 60,000 bits.

QUESTION 2:
In frequency domain, what is the equivalent operation of product of two functions, −𝑥(𝑡) and
𝑦(−𝑡) in spatial domain?
a) correlation
b) convolution
c) Fourier transform
d) fast Fourier transform
Correct Answer: a
Detailed Solution:

Correlation in frequency domain is the equivalent operation of product of two functions, −𝑥(𝑡)
and 𝑦(−𝑡) , in spatial domain.

QUESTION 3:
A cosine wave of frequency 50 Hertz is sampled at sampling frequency of 80 Hertz, Is it possible
to recover the signal?
a. Yes with only low-pass filter
b. Not possible
c. Yes but with some cascaded filter
d. Can’t Say Anything

Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution:

Since we know at a-priori that the frequency of cosine wave is 50 Hz, we can pass the signal
through a series of high pass(cutoff Freq 40Hz) and low pass filter(cutoff Freq 60Hz) to recover
the cosine signal from sampled signal. Nyquist rate/oversampling is mandatory for a general
signal which has all its frequencies spread over its spectrum.

QUESTION 4:
What is the sampling frequency less than Nyquist rate called?
a. Nyquist sampling
b. over sampling
c. under sampling
d. critical sampling

Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution:

From the sampling theory, sampling frequency less than Nyquist rate is called under sampling.

QUESTION 5:
A physical colored image of width = 1 inch and height =2 inches is scanned at 600 dpi. What
will be the size (Rows × Columns) of digital image in pixels?

a. 1200 × 600
b. 600 × 1200
c. 1200 × 1200
d. 600 × 600

Correct Answer: a
Detailed Solution:

Image scanned at 600 dpi.

Height = 2 inch and width = 1 inch
Image size= (2 ∗ 600) × (1 ∗ 600) = 1200 𝑝𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑙𝑠 × 600 𝑝𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑙𝑠.

QUESTION 6:
+∞
What will be the value of delta function, ∫−∞ 𝑓(𝑡 − 2)𝛿(𝑡 − 2)𝑑𝑡 ?

a. Infinity
b. 0
c. 𝑓(𝑡 − 2)
d. 𝑓(0)

Correct Answer: d
Detailed Solution:

∞, 𝑡=0
𝛿(𝑡) = { . Using the time shifting property,
0, 𝑡≠0

∞, 𝑡=2
𝛿(𝑡 − 2) = {
0, 𝑡≠0
+∞
Therefore ∫−∞ 𝑓(𝑡 − 2)𝛿(𝑡 − 2)𝑑𝑡 samples value of 𝑓(𝑡 − 2) at t=2; 𝑓(2 − 2) = 𝑓(0)

QUESTION 7:
Redundancy in Digital image implies

a. Similar value of pixels in the local neighborhood region

b. Similar value of pixels throughout image
c. Similar value of pixels in local regions that contain object boundaries/edges
d. Unpredictable nature of pixels in small neighborhood

Correct Answer: a
Detailed Solution:

Similar values of pixels in local neighborhood makes them predictable and thus makes images
compressible.

QUESTION 8:
Which of the following should be used for filling gaps in digital image that results from
operations like zooming, shrinking, rotation etc .?

a) Sampling.
b) Filtering.
c) Interpolation.
d) None of the above.

Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution:

Interpolation is used for filling gaps in digital image that results from operations like zooming,
shrinking, rotation, etc.

b. 5 𝑐𝑚
c. 5 𝑚𝑚
d. 10 𝑐𝑚
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution:

Let the distance be x, then using pin hole camera geometry and similar triangles.

𝑥 5𝑚
Therefore, = , 𝑥 = 5𝑚𝑚
10𝑚𝑚 10𝑚
