Signals and Systems Homework Help

The document discusses an engineering design problem involving image reconstruction. Four blurred images are provided and the task is to determine a way to sharpen each image to identify the buildings. It is assumed the blurring results from a single pole system, so each image can be deblurred with a single zero system by processing rows or columns of pixels from different directions depending on the type of blurring.

Engineering Design Problem


1. Image reconstruction
The rows and/or columns of the following images have been blurred.
Figure out a way to sharpen each image, and identify the building. Here
are thumbnails of the images:

a1 a2 b1 b2

The images are available in machine-readable form (buildings.zip) on the


6.003 website. In general, blurring could be caused by many different sorts
of transformations. We can start by making the simplest 6.003 assumption:
that the blurring results from a system with a single pole. Such a system
would have a system function of the form

where |p| < 1 if the system is stable. Such a system would blur the image if it
were a lowpass filter, i.e., 0 < p < 1. If the image were blurred by a system
with a single pole, then it could be deblurred with a system with a single
zero:
with the corresponding difference equation

The blurring appears to be mostly horizontal in the first row of


pictures. Thus we should try passing rows of pixels through the
deblurring difference equation. We could process the pixels left to
right (i.e., “causally”) or right to left (“anti-causally”). A similar
procedure could be used for columns of pixels in the middle row.
Answers:
The pole first row of pictures were blurred by passing each row of
pixels through a system with the at 0.985 processing from left to
right. The resulting pictures can be unblurred by passing each row
through a system with a zero at 0.985 processing from left to right.
The second row of pictures were blurred by passing each column of
pixels through a system with the pole at 0.985 processing from
bottom to top. The resulting pictures can be unblurred by passing
each column through a system with a zero at 0.985 processing from
bottom to top.
The third row of pictures were blurred by passing each column of
pixels through a system with the pole at 0.985 processing from top
to bottom. The resulting pictures can be unblurred by passing each
column through a system with a zero at 0.985 processing from top to
bottom.
Results after unblurring are shown below.
