High-Pass and Band-Pass Filtering: CS 450: Introduction To Digital Signal and Image Processing

The document discusses high-pass, band-pass, and ideal filters. It explains that high-pass filtering is used for sharpening by reducing blur but increasing noise, while band-pass filtering provides a compromise by boosting some mid-range frequencies to reduce blurring without boosting the noisiest high frequencies. It also describes different types of high-pass filters like ideal, Gaussian, and Butterworth filters and how their cutoff frequencies and sharpness can be adjusted.

Introduction

Sharpening

Blurring is low-pass filtering, so deblurring is high-pass filtering.

� Explicit high-pass filtering


� Unsharp Masking
� Deconvolution
� Edge Detection

Tradeoff:
� Reduces blur, but
� Increases noise

This is what we did with unsharp masking to get the edges!

High-Boost Filtering

H(u) = 1 + α HP(u)
� HP(u) is a high-pass filter
� α controls how much to boost the higher frequencies

� The “cutoff” frequency uc controls where the cutoff occurs.


� The parameter n controls the sharpness of the cutoff.

Tradeoff: Blurring vs. Noise


� Low-pass reduces noise but accentuates blurring
� High-pass reduces blurring but accentuates noise

A compromise:
Band-boost filtering boosts certain midrange freqencies and
partially corrects for blurring, but does not boost the very high
(most noise corrupted) frequencies.
