1. “ You are tasked with developing a system to process MRI images for medical diagnosis.
The system should enhance image quality, detect tumors, and assist doctors in identifying
medical conditions.” Analyze the situation described above and explain which system
you would design to meet the requirements. What components would be involved in such
a system, and how would each contribute to processing the medical images? Provide a
block diagram to represent the system, illustrating the flow of data from image
acquisition to the final output.
2. “A security surveillance system needs to capture high-quality images and convert
real-world images into a digital format for further analysis. The system must ensure that
the images maintain quality while keeping file sizes manageable."Analyze the
requirements of such a system and explain the process involved in converting continuous
images into a digital form. What considerations must be made to balance image quality
and file size?
3. What is image processing? Explain its major categories and list at least five real-world
applications with brief explanations.
4. A team is developing a virtual dressing room app. Identify the transformation used in
each case and provide Transformations matrix
● A clothing item moves smoothly to match the user's body as they shift position.
● The item scales and rotates naturally to fit different body sizes and angles.
● Users can stretch or slant the clothing design for a custom fit.
5. Explain the process of image formation in digital imaging systems. What are the common
image degradation factors, and how can they be minimized?
6. Derive the mathematical relationship between image irradiance (E) and surface radiance
(L) in an imaging system. Explain the significance of this relationship in image
formation.
7. What is the vignetting effect in an imaging system? Explain its impact on image quality.
Discuss methods to correct vignetting in digital images.
8. Explain how shading affects the perception of 3D shapes in images. Differentiate
between Lambertian and specular reflection models.
9. Discuss how the shape-from-shading technique reconstructs object surfaces, highlighting
its limitations.
10.Define affine, projective, and Euclidean transformations in image processing.
11.Represent a 2D geometric transformation using homogeneous coordinates.
12.Explain how a combination of translation, scaling, and rotation can be expressed as a
single transformation matrix.
13.Explain the difference between the pinhole and lens-based camera models.
14.Provide an overview of Zhang’s method for calibrating a camera.
15.How does stereo vision help in depth estimation?
16.Explain the concept of disparity and derive the depth formula using camera parameters.
Also, discuss the significance of epipolar geometry in stereo matching.
17.Describe how Structure from Motion (SfM) reconstructs 3D scenes from a sequence of
images. How does it differ from stereo vision?
18.Consider two points P(3, 4) and Q(7, 1) in a 2D space. Compute the following distance
measures between these points: Euclidean Distance, City Block Distance, Chessboard
Distance
19.List and describe the primary types of digital images along with their corresponding bit
depth per pixel used for representation.
20.An engineer is working on image processing and notices two common artifacts:
1.A grid-like pattern appearing in resized images, making them look unnatural.
2.Unnatural intensity bands appearing in smooth gradient areas due to low-bit
quantization.
a) Identify and explain the two artifacts observed in the image.
b) What are the possible causes of these effects?
