Simulation Assignments& COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING
ELECTRONICS
The following simulation assignments can be done with Python/MATLAB/
SCILAB/LabVIEW

1 Simple Image Processing Operations


• Read a gray scale image like Lena or ascent, available in the platform.

• Print the pixel values in [O, 255] and appreciate them.

• Show the image.

• Observe the histogram of this image and appreciate it.

• Apply a nonlinear transformation such as logarithm of pixels and ob­


serve the changes in intensity due to compression/ expansion of pixel
values.

• Plot the histogram of the transformed image over the previous histgram
and appreciate the changes.

• Apply cropping to the image and observe the cropped values.

• transform the gray scale image to a b inary image by setting all values
ab ove 127 to 255 and those below to O and observe the b inary image.

• Read in a color image and separate the RGB channels and observe
them in color separately.

• Apply the logarithmic transfomation to all channels separately and


combined the transformed images to form a new color image and
com­pare with the original color image.

2 Image Compression with Singular Value De­composition

• Read in a gray scale and read the pixel values (I) into an array.
• Apply singular value decomposition of this array as

• Plot the eiegn values and appreciate their fading in magnitude.


• Take the first Q = 10 eigen values and make the rest zero.
• Now reconstruct a compressed image for Q = 10, Q = 100 and appre­
ciate the compression ratios.
• Take a picture of your face and crop it ito suitable dimensions and
apply the previous steps and observe the compression by SVD.
3 Filters for Noise Removal
ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING
• Read in a gray scale image and observe it.
• Add AWGN to it of known variance.
• Construct mean and median filters and apply on the noisy images and
observe the removal of noise.
• Quantify the noise removal by computing the SNR and PSNR values
as

The peak value of the SNR is expressed as

where r denotes the reference image and t denotes the test image.
• Plot these values against different noise variances for mean and median
filters and appreciate.

4 Gaussian Filter for Smoothing

• Read in a gray scale image and observe it.


• Realize a Gaussian kernel with impulse response

h= _l_ 7 26 41 26 7
273 4 16 26 16 4
1 4 7 4 1

• Perfom the two dimensional convolution and observe the smoothinng,


Also observe the blurring.

• Make the image noisy and repeat the procedure.

• Assess the visual quality of the image after Gaussian smoothing by


computing teh structural similarity index as

The parameters µx and µy are the means and CT; and CT; are the vari­
ances of x and y respectively. O";Y is the covariance between x and y.
C1 and C2 are non-zero constants included to avoid unstable results
when CT;+ CT; orµ;+µ; is very close to zero.

• One may take x as the input image and y as the filtered image and
appreciate the performance of the filter.

Edge Detection Filters

• Read in a grayscale image.

• Construct a Laplacian filter with kernel

• Apply Laplacian filter to the image and observe the edges.

• Test the invulnerability of edge detection to noise. Add noise to the


signal of known variance and extract edges.

• Compute the cripness of the edges (1t,) with

where the reference image is the output of filter without noise and the
test image is the one with noise.

• Plot K, for different noise variances.

• Use the Gaussian kernel in Sec. 4 to perfom two dimnsion convolution


an the image.

• Perform Laplacian filtering on the resultant image to perform Laplacian


of Gaussian (LoG) filtering. Observe the edges detected.

• Compute K, for different noise variances and compare the plots with
those of Laplacian and understand the noise invulnerability of LoG
filter.

6 Image Compression with DCT

• Read in a gray scale image.

• Apply type-II DCT and observe the coefficient.

• Make DCT coefficients that are less than 20% of the maximum equal
to zero.

• Take inverse DCT and observe the image. Compute the compression
ratio.

and the compression ratios.
