notes_Image Enhancement in Frequency Domain(2).ppt

Edges and fine detail in images are associated with high frequency components hence image sharpening can achieved in the frequency domain by highpass filtering, which attenuates the low frequency components without disturbing high frequency information in the Fourier transform.

3. Background (Fourier Series)
Any function that periodically repeats itself can be
expressed as the sum of sines and cosines of
different frequencies each multiplied by a different
coefficient
This sum is known as Fourier Series
It does not matter how complicated the function is;
as long as it is periodic and meet some mild
conditions it can be represented by such as a sum
It was a revolutionary discovery

5. Background (Fourier Transform)
Even functions that are not periodic but Finite can be
expressed as the integrals of sines and cosines multiplied
by a weighing function
This is known as Fourier Transform
A function expressed in either a Fourier Series or
transform can be reconstructed completely via an inverse
process with no loss of information
This is one of the important characteristics of these
representations because they allow us to work in the
Fourier Domain and then return to the original domain of
the function

6. Fourier Transform
•‘Fourier Transform’ transforms one function into
another domain , which is called the frequency
domain representation of the original function
•The original function is often a function in the
Time domain
•In image Processing the original function is in the
Spatial Domain
•The term Fourier transform can refer to either the
Frequency domain representation of a function or
to the process/formula that "transforms" one
function into the other.

7. Our Interest in Fourier Transform
•We will be dealing only with functions (images) of
finite duration so we will be interested only in Fourier
Transform

Properties of Fourier Transform
As we move away from the origin in F(u,v) the lower
frequencies corresponding to slow gray level changes
Higher frequencies correspond to the fast changes in gray
levels (smaller details such edges of objects and noise)
The direction of amplitude change in spatial domain and the
amplitude change in the frequency domain are orthogonal
(see the examples)

Filters to be Discussed

31. 09/10/24 31
Low Pass Filtering
A low-pass filter attenuates high frequencies and retains low
frequencies unchanged. The result in the spatial domain is
equivalent to that of a smoothing filter; as the blocked high
frequencies correspond to sharp intensity changes, i.e. to the
fine-scale details and noise in the spatial domain image.

32. 09/10/24 32
High Pass Filtering
A high pass filter, on the other hand, yields edge enhancement
or edge detection in the spatial domain, because edges contain
many high frequencies. Areas of rather constant gray level
consist of mainly low frequencies and are therefore
suppressed.

33. 09/10/24 33
Band Pass Filtering
A bandpass attenuates very low and very high frequencies, but
retains a middle range band of frequencies. Bandpass filtering
can be used to enhance edges (suppressing low frequencies)
while reducing the noise at the same time (attenuating high
frequencies).
Bandpass filters are a combination of both lowpass and
highpass filters. They attenuate all frequencies smaller than a
frequency Do and higher than a frequency D1 , while the
frequencies between the two cut-offs remain in the resulting
output image.
