Point operators are foundational in image processing and form the basis for more complex
operations. They are often used in combination to achieve desired enhancements or
modifications to images. These operations are computationally efficient, as they can be
applied independently to each pixel, making them suitable for real-time applications and basic

image processing techniques, such as filtering and convolution, involve considering the values of
neighboring pixels and are applied to local image regions.

6. Linear filtering:

Linear filtering is a fundamental concept in image processing that involves applying a linear
operator to an image. The linear filter operates on each pixel in the image by combining its value
with the values of its neighboring pixels according to a predefined convolution kernel or matrix.

that computes the weighted sum of pixel values in the image, producing a new value for the center
pixel.

characteristics of the image and the desired outcome.

8. Fourier transforms:

Fourier transforms play a significant role in computer vision for analyzing and processing images.
They are used to decompose an image into its frequency
components, providing valuable information for tasks such as image filtering, feature extraction,
and pattern recognition. Here are some ways Fourier transforms are
employed in computer vision:

applications in computer vision. The ability to analyze images in the
frequency domain provides valuable insights and contributes to the development of advanced
image processing techniques.

9. Pyramids and wavelets:

Pyramids and wavelets are both techniques used in image processing for
multi-resolution analysis, allowing the representation of an image at different scales. They are
valuable for tasks such as image compression, feature extraction, and image analysis.

Image Pyramids:

Image pyramids are a series of images representing the same scene but at different resolutions.
There are two main types of image pyramids:

Gaussian Pyramid:
● Created by repeatedly applying Gaussian smoothing and down sampling to
an image.
 ● At each level, the image is smoothed to remove high-frequency
information, and then it is subsampled to reduce its size.
● Useful for tasks like image blending, image matching, and coarse-to-fine image
processing.
Laplacian Pyramid:
● Derived from the Gaussian pyramid.
● Each level of the Laplacian pyramid is obtained by subtracting the
expanded version of the higher level Gaussian pyramid from the original image.
● Useful for image compression and coding, where the Laplacian pyramid
represents the residual information not captured by the Gaussian pyramid.

Image pyramids are especially useful for creating multi-scale representations of images, which can
be beneficial for various computer vision tasks.

Wavelets:
Wavelets are mathematical functions that can be used to analyze signals and images. Wavelet
transforms provide a multi-resolution analysis by decomposing an image into approximation
(low-frequency) and detail (high-frequency) components. Key concepts include:

Wavelet Transform:
● The wavelet transform decomposes an image into different frequency
components by convolving the image with wavelet functions.
● The result is a set of coefficients that represent the image at various scales
and orientations.
Multi-resolution Analysis:
● Wavelet transforms offer a multi-resolution analysis, allowing the
representation of an image at different scales.
● The approximation coefficients capture the low-frequency information, while
detail coefficients capture high-frequency information.
Haar Wavelet:
● The Haar wavelet is a simple wavelet function used in basic wavelet
transforms.
● It represents changes in intensity between adjacent pixels.
Wavelet Compression:
 ● Wavelet-based image compression techniques, such as JPEG2000, utilize wavelet
transforms to efficiently represent image data in both spatial and frequency
domains.
Image Denoising:
● Wavelet-based thresholding techniques can be applied to denoise images by
thresholding the wavelet coefficients.
Edge Detection:
● Wavelet transforms can be used for edge detection by analyzing the high-
frequency components of the image.

Both pyramids and wavelets offer advantages in multi-resolution analysis, but they differ in terms
of their representation and construction. Pyramids use a hierarchical structure of smoothed and
subsampled images, while wavelets use a transform-based approach that decomposes the image
into frequency components. The choice between pyramids and wavelets often depends on the
specific requirements of the image processing task at hand.
