What is the use of filter in image processing?

Describe in detail any four (4) filtering algorithms.
List and describe any four (4) edge detection methods.
Apply two masks of Sobel operator on the image below and combine the
two results using the so-called squares and square roots.
(i) Obtain the Sobel operator.
(ii) Obtain the output edge image after rounding real numbers to integers.
(iii) How can we separate the edge pixels and non-edge pixels?
(iv) What is the rough shape of the object in this image?

5. Suppose that an image has the gray level probability density functions as
shown, where p1 ( z ) and p 2 ( z ) corresponds to the object and background
respectively. Find the optimal threshold between the object and the
background. Assume the occurrence of object and background are the
same i.e. P1 P2 .

6. Design a 2D Gaussian mask of dimension 5 x 5 for a variance of 5.

Consecutively, determine the normalizing factor to ensure the filtered
image is uniform intensity.
