• Unlike the Ideal Low-Pass Filter, which has an abrupt cutoff, the
Gaussian Low-Pass Filter provides a very smooth transition from
low to high frequencies, which results in minimal ringing
artifacts(Ringing artifacts are unwanted oscillations or ripples that
appear near sharp edges or boundaries in images and signals,
usually as a result of certain types of filtering or compression)
Gaussian Low-Pass Filter
• The standard deviation (σ\sigmaσ) of a
Gaussian function is a key parameter that
defines the width of the Gaussian curve.
• Gaussian filter (used in image processing or
signal processing), σ\sigmaσ determines how
much the filter blurs or smooths the data

Image Sharpening Using Frequency
Domain Filters
• we showed that an image can be smoothed by
attenuating the high-frequency components of its
Fourier transform.
• Because edges and other abrupt changes in
intensities are associated with high-frequency
• components, image sharpening can be achieved
in the frequency domain by highpass filtering,
which attenuates the low-frequency components
without disturbing high-frequency information in
the Fourier transform

• Choice of Cut-off Frequency D0: Choosing an
appropriate cut-off frequency is key. A small D0
will make the image too sharp, possibly
introducing noise, while a large D0 might not
enhance the details enough.

• The chromaticity diagram is useful for color mixing because a straight-line
segment joining any two points in the diagram defines all the different
color variations that can be obtained by combining these two colors
additively.
• Consider, for example, a straight line drawn from the red to the green
points shown in Fig. 6.5.
• If there is more red light than green light, the exact point representing the
new color will be on the line segment, but it will be closer to the red point
than to the green point. Similarly, a line drawn from the point of
equalenergy to any point on the boundary of the chart will define all the
shades of that particular spectrum color

• The triangle in Figure 6.6 shows a typical range of colors
(called the color gamut) produced by RGB monitors.
• A color image can be acquired by using three filters, sensitive to red, green, and blue,
respectively.
• When we view a color scene with a monochrome camera equipped with one of these filters,
the result is a monochrome image whose intensity is proportional to the response of that
filter.
• Repeating this process with each filter produces three monochrome images
• that are the RGB component images of the color scene.
• (In practice, RGB color image sensors usually integrate this process into a single device.)
• Clearly, displaying these three RGB component images in the form shown in
• Fig. 6.9(a) would yield an RGB color rendition of the original color scene. ■
