Filtering
 Filter concept in the frequency domain

Filtering
 Convolution operation of the image and the convolution mask in
the spatial domain is processed by multiplication in the
frequency domain
f ( x, y )
h( x, y )
g ( x, y )
g ( x, y )  h( x, y )  f ( x, y )
F (u , v )
H (u , v )
G (u , v )
G (u , v )  H (u , v ) F (u , v )

Filtering
 Creation of a filter mask
• Convolution mask is used in the spatial domain is converted
to a mask in the frequency domain via the DFT
• Generate directly in the frequency domain
- DFT is not necessary for the mask
- It is often used to conceptually simple

Filtering
 Characteristics of 1-D filter mask
• Low pass filter : The low-frequency component in the input
image is passed through but the high-frequency component is
removed.
• High pass filter : The high-frequency component in the input
image is passed through but the low-frequency component is
removed.
• Band pass filter : Passes only a specific frequency component
from the input image.
• Band stop filter: Removes only a specific frequency
component from the input image.
• cutoff frequency : The frequency that H(f) value is changed
from 1 to 0(or changed to ½)

Filtering
 Zone-plate image

Filtering
 Zone-plate image
• Zero frequency component in the center of the image
• The far distance from the center, the frequency component is
increased
• Used effectively for the purpose of testing the characteristics
of the filter
• Identifying the display properties of the display device
• An expression of zone plate image creation(The origin is
center of image)

Filtering
 Practical filter
• Sharp cut-off filter as the ideal is unrealistic
• The ringing generated during the implementation of a computer
• Most of the filters are a combination of the previous four filters
• Low-pass filter : Removing noise, Reduction of image,
Compression of image, etc.
• High-pass filter : Extracting of edge, etc.
• Band-stop/pass filter : Color separation of the NTSC signal
• Universal filter used by the image processing
- Butterworth filter
- Gaussian filter
