represented by 8 bits. Imagine that the image is composed of eight 1-bit planes, ranging from bit-
plane 0 for the least significant bit to bit-plane 7 for the most significant bit. In terms of 8-bit
bytes, plane 0 contains all the lowest order bits in the bytes comprising the pixels in the image
and plane 7 contains all the high-order bits.

second order is zero along the ramp. So, we can conclude that the first order derivatives produce
thicker edges and the second order derivatives produce much finer edges.

11. First order derivative can enhance the fine detail in the image compared to that of second
order derivative.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The response at and around the noise point is much stronger for the second order
derivative than for the first order derivative. So, we can state that the second order derivative is
better to enhance the fine details in the image including noise when compared to that of first
order derivative.

6. Which of the following are forced to the median intensity of the neighbors by n*n median
filter?
a) Isolated cluster of pixels that are light or dark in comparison to their neighbors
b) Isolated cluster of pixels whose area is less than one-half the filter area
c) All of the mentioned
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The isolated cluster pixel value doesn’t come as a median value and since are either
are light or dark as compared to neighbors, so are forced with median intensity of neighbors that
aren’t even close to their original value and so are sometimes termed “eliminated”.
If the area of such isolated pixels are < n2/2, that is again the pixel value won’t be a median
value and so are eliminated.
Larger cluster pixels value are more pronounced to be a median value, so are considerably less
forced to median intensity.

following approach is/are used to obtain a perfectly filtered result irrespective of the size?
a) By padding the image
b) By filtering all the pixels only with the mask section that is fully contained in the image
c) By ensuring that center of mask must be at a distance ≥ (n – 1)/2 pixels from border of image
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: By ensuring that center of mask must be at a distance ≥ (n – 1)/2 pixels from border
of image, the resultant image would be of smaller size but all the pixels would be the result of the
filter processing and so is a fully filtered result.
In the other approach like padding affect the values near the edges that gets more prevalent with
mask size increase, while the another approach results in the band of pixels near border that gets
processed with partial filter mask. So, not a fully filtered case.

One of the transformation in Contrast stretching darkens the value of r (input image gray-level)
below m (some predefined gray-value) and brightens the value of r above m, giving a binary
image as result.

9. Specific bit contribution in the image highlighting is the basic idea of __________
a) Contrast stretching
b) Bit –plane slicing
c) Thresholding

d) Gray-level slicing
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Bit-plane slicing highlights the contribution of specific bits made to total image,
instead of highlighting a specific gray-level range.

10. In bit-plane slicing if an image is represented by 8 bits and is composed of eight 1-bit plane,
with plane 0 showing least significant bit and plane 7 showing most significant bit. Then, which
plane(s) contain the majority of visually significant data.
a) Plane 4, 5, 6, 7
b) Plane 0, 1, 2, 3
c) Plane 0
d) Plane 2, 3, 4, 5
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: In bit-plane slicing, for the given data, the higher-ordered bits (mostly top four)
contains most of the data visually signified.

11. Which of the following helps to obtain the number of bits to be used to quantize each pixel.
a) Gray-level slicing
b) Contrast stretching
c) Contouring
d) Bit-plane slicing
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Bits-plane slicing helps in obtaining the importance played by each bit in the image
by separating the image into bit-plane
