1. Image Processing Part II

2. 2 Classes of Digital Filters global filters transform each pixel uniformly according to the function regardless of its location in the image local filters transform a pixel depending upon its relation to surrounding ones

3. Global Filters: REVIEW Brightness and Contrast control Histogram thresholding Histogram stretching or equalization Color corrections Inversions

4. Local Filters  Blurring Sharpening Unsharp Masking Edge and line detection Noise filters

5. Blurring Algorithm For (every pixel in column x) {For (every pixel in row y of column x) { average image[x,y] with it’s neighbors; }

6. Blurring Average each pixel with its neighbors by : multiplying each pixel and its neighbors by 1: = - add multiplied pixels and divide by 9 - store result in a new array The new array contains a blurred image. 111 111 111

7. Gaussian Blur Multiply neighbors by less than middle

8. Blur Demo Photoshop –Filter->Blur->Blur –Filter->Blur->Gaussian Blur

9. Local Filters Blurring  Sharpening  Unsharp Masking Edge and line detection Noise filters

10. Subtract neighboring pixels by : multiplying each pixel and its neighbors by: = - add multiplied pixels - store result in a new array The new array contains a sharpened image. Sharpening 00 00 +5

11. Unsharp Masking Unsharp masking also sharpens an image The Algorithm: 1. call the original (unblurred) image A 2. blur the image (call it B) 3. subtract B from the unblurred image (let C = A-B) 4. Multiply C by some number, k (k > 1) 5. Sharpened Image = A + kC

12. Sharpen/Unsharp mask Photoshop –Filter->Sharpen->Sharpen –Filter->Sharpen->Unsharp mask

13. Local Filters Blurring Sharpening Unsharp Masking  Edge and line detection Noise filters

14. Edge and Line Detection Multiply each pixel and its neighbors by the following corresponding patterns (numbers) - add results - clip to 255 - result = “Edge” image 0 +1 0 0 +1 0 0 +1 0 Gets Gets Vertical Edges Horizontal Edges

15. Edge Detection edge detection is often used to recognized objects of interest in the image

16. Edge Detection Photoshop –Filter->Stylize->Find Edges

17. Local Filters Blurring Sharpening Unsharp Masking Edge and line detection  Noise filters

18. Noise Filters A median filter takes away “salt & pepper” noise (speckles)

19. Noise Filter Photoshop –Filter->Noise->Median Filter

20. Kernel Filtering 111 111 111 Blur 00 00 +5 Sharpen 0 +1 0 0 +1 0 0 +1 0 Edges Apply same algorithm at every pixel using different kernel values

25. Painting Tools Airbrush Tool Paint Bucket Tool Paintbrush Tool Pencil Tool DEMOS

26. Image Editing Selection Tools Painting Tools  Cut & Paste Cloning Layers and Blending

27. Cut & Paste Word Processors - cut & paste strings of characters (1D arrays) Image Editing - cut & paste pixels (2D arrays) - replace old pixels with new pixels

28. Image Editing Selection Tools Painting Tools Cut & Paste  Cloning Layers and Blending

29. Cloning Copy pixels from one part of an image - to another part of an image... Interactively DEMO

30. Image Editing Selection Tools Painting Tools Cut & Paste Cloning  Layers and Blending

31. Can create arbitrary number of layers for - animation - special effects in movies - morphing Layers and Blending Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer n

32. The idea: Blended image =.3 x +.7 x is a weighted combination (sum) of two or more other images. Blending

33. Example Blend.3 x+.7 x = Bearastronaut

34. The idea: Create another image where the value of pixels is the weighting term for a blend operation: Masking
