All Questions carry equal marks
--1.a]

b]

A common measure of transmission for digital data is the baud rate, defined as the
number of bits transmitted per second. Generally transmission is accomplished in
packets consisting of starting bit, a byte of information and a stop bit-Using this
approach, answer the following:
i) How many minutes it takes to transmit a 512x512 image with 256 grey levels
at 300 baud.
ii) What would the time be at 9600 baud.
Discuss image smoothing with following
i) Low pass spatial filtering
ii) Median filtering.

5.

A gray scale image f(x,y) is corrupted by non overlapping noise spikes that can be
modeled as small. Cylindrical artifacts of radii Rmm r Rmax & amplitude
