Image Processing

Report #3

The magnitude representation of the FFT
 

Original	Magnitude of fft

 
This is the magnitude representation of the fft of the image lenna.  Within this image a noticeable vertical line appears
This line may be due to the horizontal edges found within lenna.  This fft was scaled using range compression.
Without the use of range compression the image is basically all black.
 

Low pass results
 

Original		LowPass( filter is picked close to center )		LowPass( filter is picked closer to the edge of image )

 
Low pass filtering is good for smoothing images.  However if one gets closer the maximum impulse response the smoother the image gets as noticed from the middle
image.  If one gets further away the smoothing is not as rampant.
 

High pass results
 

Original	High pass

 
High pass filtering is useful in stretching edges and sharpening the image.  I believe I was further away from the impulse max and hence the
image got rather dark.
 

Subimage results

Original	subImage

 
One can also take part of an image, fft it , and put back to combine the image into one.
