Digital Image Processing Multiple Choice Questions on “Unsharp Masking, High-boost filtering and Emphasis Filtering”.
1. In frequency domain terminology, which of the following is defined as “obtaining a highpass filtered image by subtracting from the given image a lowpass filtered version of itself”?
A. Emphasis filtering
B. Unsharp masking
C. Butterworth filtering
D. None of the mentioned
Answer: B
Clarification: In frequency domain terminology unsharp masking is defined as “obtaining a highpass filtered image by subtracting from the given image a lowpass filtered version of itself”.
2. Which of the following is/ are a generalized form of unsharp masking?
A. Lowpass filtering
B. High-boost filtering
C. Emphasis filtering
D. All of the mentioned
Answer: B
Clarification: Unsharp masking is defined as “obtaining a highpass filtered image by subtracting from the given image a lowpass filtered version of itself” while high-boost filtering generalizes it by multiplying the input image by a constant, say A≥1.
3. High boost filtered image is expressed as: fhb = A f(x, y) – flp(x, y), where f(x, y) the input image, A is a constant and flp(x, y) is the lowpass filtered version of f(x, y). Which of the following fact validates if A=1?
A. High-boost filtering reduces to regular Highpass filtering
B. High-boost filtering reduces to regular Lowpass filtering
C. All of the mentioned
D. None of the mentioned
Answer: A
Clarification: High boost filtered image is modified as: fhb = (A-1) f(x, y) +f(x, y) – flp(x, y)
i.e. fhb = (A-1) f(x, y) + fhp(x, y). So, when A=1, High-boost filtering reduces to regular Highpass filtering.
4. High boost filtered image is expressed as: fhb = A f(x, y) – flp(x, y), where f(x, y) the input image, A is a constant and flp(x, y) is the lowpass filtered version of f(x, y). Which of the following fact(s) validates if A increases past 1?
A. The contribution of the image itself becomes more dominant
B. The contribution of the highpass filtered version of image becomes less dominant
C. All of the mentioned
D. None of the mentioned
Answer: C
Clarification: High boost filtered image is modified as: fhb = (A-1) f(x, y) +f(x, y) – flp(x, y)
i.e. fhb = (A-1) f(x, y) + fhp(x, y). So, when A>1, the contribution of the image itself becomes more dominant over the highpass filtered version of image.
5. If, Fhp(u, v)=F(u, v) – Flp(u, v) and Flp(u, v) = Hlp(u, v)F(u, v), where F(u, v) is the image in frequency domain with Fhp(u, v) its highpass filtered version, Flp(u, v) its lowpass filtered component and Hlp(u, v) the transfer function of a lowpass filter. Then, unsharp masking can be implemented directly in frequency domain by using a filter. Which of the following is the required filter?
A. Hhp(u, v) = Hlp(u, v)
B. Hhp(u, v) = 1 + Hlp(u, v)
C. Hhp(u, v) = – Hlp(u, v)
D. Hhp(u, v) = 1 – Hlp(u, v)
Answer: D
Clarification: Unsharp masking can be implemented directly in frequency domain by using a composite filter: Hhp(u, v) = 1 – Hlp(u, v).
6. Unsharp masking can be implemented directly in frequency domain by using a filter: Hhp(u, v) = 1 – Hlp(u, v), where Hlp(u, v) the transfer function of a lowpass filter. What kind of filter is Hhp(u, v)?
A. Composite filter
B. M-derived filter
C. Constant k filter
D. None of the mentioned
Answer: A
Clarification: Unsharp masking can be implemented directly in frequency domain by using a composite filter: Hhp(u, v) = 1 – Hlp(u, v).
7. If unsharp masking can be implemented directly in frequency domain by using a composite filter: Hhp(u, v) = 1 – Hlp(u, v), where Hlp(u, v) the transfer function of a lowpass filter. Then, the composite filter for High-boost filtering is __________
A. Hhb(u, v) = 1 – Hhp(u, v)
B. Hhb(u, v) = 1 + Hhp(u, v)
C. Hhb(u, v) = (A-1) – Hhp(u, v), A is a constant
D. Hhb(u, v) = (A-1) + Hhp(u, v), A is a constant
Answer: D
Clarification: For given composite filter of unsharp masking Hhp(u, v) = 1 – Hlp(u, v), the composite filter for High-boost filtering is Hhb(u, v) = (A-1) + Hhp(u, v).

A. Multiply the highpass filter by a constant
B. Add an offset to the highpass filter to prevent eliminating zero frequency term by filter
C. All of the mentioned combined and applied
D. None of the mentioned
Answer: C
Clarification: To accentuate the contribution to enhancement made by high-frequency components, we have to multiply the highpass filter by a constant and add an offset to the highpass filter to prevent eliminating zero frequency term by filter.
10. A process that accentuate the contribution to enhancement made by high-frequency components, by multiplying the highpass filter by a constant and adding an offset to the highpass filter to prevent eliminating zero frequency term by filter is known as _______
A. Unsharp masking
B. High-boost filtering
C. High frequency emphasis
D. None of the mentioned
Answer: C
Clarification: High frequency emphasis is the method that accentuate the contribution to enhancement made by high-frequency component. In this we multiply the highpass filter by a constant and add an offset to the highpass filter to prevent eliminating zero frequency term by filter.

D. Hhfe(u, v) = a + b Hhp(u, v), a≥0 and b>a
Answer: D
Clarification: The transfer function of High frequency emphasis is given as:Hhfe(u, v) = a + b Hhp(u, v), a≥0 and b>a.
12. The transfer function of High frequency emphasis is given as: Hhfe(u, v) = a + b Hhp(u, v), for Hhp(u, v) being the highpass filtered version of image,a≥0 and b>a. for certain values of a and b it reduces to High-boost filtering. Which of the following is the required value?
A. a = (A-1) and b = 0,A is some constant
B. a = 0 and b = (A-1),A is some constant
C. a = 1 and b = 1
D. a = (A-1) and b =1,A is some constant
Answer: D
Clarification: The transfer function of High frequency emphasis is given as: Hhfe(u, v) = a + b Hhp(u, v) and the transfer function for High-boost filtering is Hhb(u, v) = (A-1) + Hhp(u, v), A being some constant. So, for a = (A-1) and b =1, Hhfe(u, v) = Hhb(u, v).
13. The transfer function of High frequency emphasis is given as: Hhfe(u, v) = a + b Hhp(u, v), for Hhp(u, v) being the highpass filtered version of image,a≥0 and b>a. What happens when b increases past 1?

B. The low frequency are emphasized
C. All frequency are emphasized
D. None of the mentioned
Answer: A
Clarification: The transfer function of High frequency emphasis is given as: Hhfe(u, v) = a + b Hhp(u, v), for Hhp(u, v) being the highpass filtered version of image,a≥0 and b>a. When b increases past 1, the high frequency are emphasized.
14. The transfer function of High frequency emphasis is given as: Hhfe(u, v) = a + b Hhp(u, v), for Hhp(u, v) being the highpass filtered version of image,a≥0 and b>a. When b increases past 1 the filtering process is specifically termed as__________

D. None of the mentioned
Answer: C
Clarification: The transfer function of High frequency emphasis is given as: Hhfe(u, v) = a + b Hhp(u, v), for Hhp(u, v) being the highpass filtered version of image,a≥0 and b>a. When b increases past 1, the high frequency are emphasized and so the filtering process is better known as Emphasized filtering.
