Q 1(a) [6 Marks] i. Starting with Image formation, outline the main stages in a fully integrated Image Processing \& Analysis system. Outline the role of each element. ii. What are the two main classes of image processing operations? Give an example of each. iii. Outline the three key stages of Pattern Recognition using Feature Extraction. Q 1(b) [3 Marks] Assuming a monochromatic image with a spatial resolution of 10001000 pixels and 256 grey levels ( 8 bit =1 byte), what is the size (in bytes) of the image required to store a single Stereoscopic Multispectral (RGB Colour, IR, and UV) image. Q 1(c) [6 Marks] Using linear normalization based contrast stretching calculate the normalized output values for the input values of 148,149 and 150 . The normalization is to map the input range 100 to 200 to the output range 0 to 255 . Comment on the range of greyscale outputs generated using this normalization. Q 1(d) [4 Marks] What role does deconvolution play in image processing? Outline a specific application of this approach? Q 1(e) [4 Marks] Outline the operation of the 33 Adaptive Threshold function. Illustrate its operation on the shaded pixel [36] in image segment illustrated in Figure Q1, you can assume an image offset of 10 . Figure Q1: Image segment
