There are two parts to this
assignment. The
first part is not really an assignment but rather part of what should
be included in your report however, i simply want to stress its
importance. See below:
1) For each of the five
components investigated and experimented with
in Lab 3 (e.g., template matching, edge detection etc.), provide a
summary (in your own words - do not simply copy the textbook) of how
each operation works (e.g., how does template matching work). Try
being as specific as you can and you may also list an algorithm as well.
2) During the Sept. 26
lecture, connected components were
introduced. Provide an algorithm (a sketch) for finding all the
connected components in an image. as input, you are given a
binary image (e.g., all pixels values are either 0 or 1 of size M x N
(M rows by N columns) ) and your algorithm should output 1) then number
of connected components and 2) a unique label to each connected
component. This problem is rather tough and I will take that into
consideration and certainly not looking for a "correct solution".
I will also say more about this in the
lectures. The purpose is to work on a practical (very useful)
image processing problem and to use all the knowledge we gained
regarding pixels and their spatial relationships.
Note: An algorithm is
basically a step-by-step solution to a particular
problem. Think of it as an outline or a sketch. I am not
looking for actual Matlab source code etc. Just a
description.
