Review Summary

Image sampling, quantization and associated problems.

Image formats examples.

.pgm and .ppm formats.

Looked at a code to read an image and compute mean.

Integer and �oat values for computed Image mean di�er, why?

Spatial domain operations.

Intensity transformation functions that work on single pixel values.

Piecewise-Linear Functions Contrast Stretching

Outline

Contrast

De�ned as the di�erence in intensity between the highest and thelowest intensity levels in an image.

Also can be explained as - the di�erence in luminance and/or colorthat makes an object (or its representation in an image or display)distinguishable.1

Low Contrast

Poor scene illumination - absense of higher valued gray levels.

Lack of dynamic range(?) in the imaging sensor.

Dynamic range is the ratio between the largest and smallest possible

values of a changeable quantity, such as in signals like sound and light.2

Dynamic range of scene → luminance range of the scene being

photographed.

Dynamic range of sensor → de�nes max and min value of luminance a

sensor can capture.

Small dynamic range of sensor would result in image with lowest and

highest intensity levels close together.

Wrong lens aperture during imaging.

Some Calculations - Contrast

How do we set up a calculation for this?

Let g be an M×N digital image with l = 0,1, ...,L−1 possible graylevels.

Image contrast relates to the global amount of image gray leveldispersion (variation about the mean gray level).

Dispersion → Image pixel value variance.

‖g −g‖2 = 1

MN∑M−1m=0 ∑

N−1n=0

(g [m,n]−g)2

MN∑M−1m=0 ∑

N−1n=0

g [m,n]

Units are squared here.

Contrast = ‖g −g‖=√‖g −g‖2 → standard deviation.

Note that it would take an order O (MN) algorithm to �nd this.

Contrast Stretching

Idea → expand the range of intensity levels in an image so that it spans thefull intensity range of the recording medium or display device.

Position of (r1,s1) and(r2,s2) controls thefunction.

r1 ≤ r2 and s1 ≤ s2.

Single valued,monotonically increasing.

Speci�c case here →(r1,s1) = (rmin,0) and(r2,s2) = (rmax ,L−1)

Intensity Level Slicing

Idea → Highlight a speci�c range of intensity levels by using a window.

Bit-plane Slicing

Idea → Each pixel value (e.g. between 0 and 255) is represented by 8 bits.

Remember → each of the planes would have a set of 0's and 1's.

Bit-planes - Visual Information

Histogram Processing What is a Histogram?

Outline

Histogram

Let g be an M×N digital image with l = 0,1, ...,L−1 possible graylevels.

c [l ] =the number of pixels with gray level l .

De�ne relative frequency

p [l ] = c[l ]MN

, ∑L−1l=0

p [l ] = 1

→ digital image gray level distribution.

The probability that a randomly selected pixel has value l .

Note that the computation would take an algorithm with orderO (L+MN).

Histogram - Example

Some More Calculations - Contrast

l2c [l ].

Note that l ≪MN. So if we have the gray level distribution model,we can speed things up!

random selection of a small sub-set of a large image to obtain gray

level distribution.

not accurate, but could live with it! especially if we are sure about the

randomness.

g = ∑L−1l=0

‖g −g‖=√

∑L−1l=0

(l −g)2 p [l ]
