6. How is sampling been done when an image is generated by a single sensing element combined
with mechanical motion?
a) The number of sensors in the strip defines the sampling limitations in one direction and
Mechanical motion in the other direction.
b) The number of sensors in the sensing array establishes the limits of sampling in both
directions.

d) None of the mentioned.
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: When an image is generated by a single sensing element along with mechanical
motion, the output data is quantized by dividing the gray-level scale into many discrete levels.
However, sampling is done by selecting the number of individual mechanical increments
recorded at which we activate the sensor to collect data.

order derivative.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: b

better to enhance the fine details in the image including noise when compared to that of first
order derivative.

1. The histogram of a digital image with gray levels in the range [0, L-1] is represented by a
discrete function:
a) h(r_k)=n_k
b) h(r_k )=n/n_k
c) p(r_k )=n_k
d) h(r_k )=n_k/n
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The histogram of a digital image with gray levels in the range [0, L-1] is a discrete
function h(rk )=nk, where rk is the kth gray level and nkis the number of pixels in the image having
gray level rk.
36 | P a g e
Answer: b
Explanation: It is common practice to normalize a histogram by dividing each of its values by the
total number of pixels in the image, denoted by n. Thus, a normalized histogram is given by
p(rk )=nk/n, for k=0,1,2…..L-1. Loosely speaking, p(rk ) gives an estimate of the probability of
occurrence of gray-level rk. Note that the sum of all components of a normalized histogram is
equal to 1.

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.

3. When is the contrast stretching transformation a thresholding function, for r and s as gray-
value of image before and after processing respectively?
a) r1 = s1 and r2 = s2
b) r1 = r2, s1 = 0 and s2 = L – 1, L is the max gray value allowed
c) r1 = 1 and r2 = 0
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: If r1 = r2, s1 = 0 and s2 = L – 1, the contrast stretching transformation is a
thresholding function.

4. What condition prevents the intensity artifacts to be created while processing with contrast
stretching, if r and s are gray-values of image before and after processing respectively?
a) r1 = s1 and r2 = s2
b) r1 = r2, s1 = 0 and s2 = L – 1, L is the max gray value allowed
c) r1 = 1 and r2 = 0

d) r1 ≤ r2 and s1 ≤ s2
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: While processing through contrast stretching, if r1 ≤ r2 and s1 ≤ s2 is maintained, the
function remains single valued and so monotonically increasing. This helps in the prevention of
creation of intensity artifacts.
5. A contrast stretching result been obtained by setting (r1, s1) = (rmin, 0) and (r2, s2) = (rmax, L – 1),
where, r and s are gray-values of image before and after processing respectively, L is the max
gray value allowed and rmax and rmin are maximum and minimum gray-values in image
respectively. What should we term the transformation function if r1 = r2 = m, some mean gray-
value.
a) Linear function
b) Thresholding function
c) Intermediate function
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: From (r1, s1) = (rmin, 0) and (r2, s2) = (rmax, L – 1), we have s1 = 0 and s2 = L – 1 and if
r1 = r2 = m is set then the result becomes r1 = r2, s1 = 0 and s2 = L – 1, i.e. a thresholding function.

Second approach is to brighten the pixels gray-value of interest and preserve the background.
I.e. in both highlighting of a specific range of gray-level is been done.
9. Specific bit contribution in the image highlighting is the basic idea of __________
a) Contrast stretching
b) Bit –plane slicing
c) Thresholding
69 | P a g e
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
