### What is the difference between feature detectors and feature descriptors?

An interest point (key point, salient point) detector is an algorithm that chooses points from an image based on some criterion. Typically, an interest point is a local maximum of some function, such ...

### Is deep learning killing image processing/computer vision?

First, there is nothing wrong with doing grad work in image processing or computer vision and using deep learning. Deep learning is not killing image processing and computer vision, it is merely the ...

### Why should an image be blurred using a Gaussian Kernel before downsampling?

An image "should not be blurred using a Gaussian Kernel" in general. This however can be a safe bet for a lot of basic image processing needs, and a smoothing is almost mandatory when you ...

### What are the audio equivalents of images like "Lena", "Mandrill", and "Cameraman"?

The closest example I can think of is the beginning of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" which has been used for the mpeg-1 layer 3 development, and is still occasionally used to demo audio codecs.

### Why Is the Canny Edge Detection Used Instead of Sobel / Prewitt Edge Detection Before Hough Transformation?

Canny Edge Detection is considered to be a better (In False Alarm sense) edge detection than those you mentioned. This is, mainly, due to 2 steps: Non Maximum Suppression - Edges candidates which are ...

### Why real part of FFT converts image into rotation + original?

Let's say your image is given by $I(x,y)$. Then its Fourier transform is given by $$I^f(\omega_x,\omega_y) = \int_x\int_yI(x,y)e^{j\omega_xx}e^{j\omega_yy}dxdy$$ Now you take the real part and ...

### What are the audio equivalents of images like "Lena", "Mandrill", and "Cameraman"?

Audio processing is a large field, but specifically in speech processing, an open database of samples known as Harvard Sentences is widely used. Harvard sentences are phonetically balanced collections ...

### Image Reconstruction:Phase vs. Magnitude

Figure 1.(c) shows the Test image reconstructed from MAGNITUDE spectrum only. We can say that the intensity values of LOW frequency pixels are comparatively more than HIGH frequency pixels. Actually, ...

### Which image filter can be applied to remove gridded pattern from corrupt jpegs?

You can use a standard inpainting algorithm. These algorithms replace marked pixels in an image with the pixel values that surround these marked pixels. The challenge here is to detect the grid (my ...

### DSP or signal/image/data processing jokes

An airplane is leaving Warsaw (the capital of Poland), and gets caught in a terrible winter storm. The plane rolls, pitches and yaws. The crew is expecting the plane to crash or break up at any time. ...

### what does "derivative" means in image processing?

Look at the numbers in the filter kernel in just 1 dimension for simplicity. For a Sobel and Prewitt matrix you have something that roughly looks like this ...

### What is different between Euclidean distance and the Geodesic distance?

Simple: the Euclidean distance completely ignores the shape when finding a path from the start point to the end point while, for the geodesic distance, the path is constrained to be within the given ...

### $8 \times 8$ block matrix in JPEG image compression?

The lossy JPEG compression does not merely remove small coefficients in higher frequencies. It encodes them with a precision relative to a (relatively crude) visual perception model; most notably, ...

### What Is the Difference between Difference of Gaussian, Laplace of Gaussian, and Mexican Hat Wavelet?

Laplace of Gaussian The Laplace of Gaussian (LoG) of image $f$ can be written as $$\nabla^2 (f * g) = f * \nabla^2 g$$ with $g$ the Gaussian kernel and $*$ the convolution. That is, the Laplace ...

### Auto Detection of Rotation Angle on Arbitrary Image with Orthogonal Features

If I understand your method 1 correctly, with it, if you used a circularly symmetrical region and did the rotation about the center of the region, you would eliminate the region's dependency on the ...

### Is deep learning killing image processing/computer vision?

No Deep Learning isn't killing Image Processing. You need huge datasets and lots of computational resources to do deep learning. There are plenty of applications where it is desirable to be able to do ...

### Why does this Moiré pattern look like this?

You'll need to understand the sampling theorem. In short, each signal has what we call a spectrum¹, which is the Fourier transform of the signal as it comes in time domain (if it is a time signal), or ...
