  • Q1. Minimum no of steps needed to find the value of a nth order polynomial by making calls to a function that can compute the value of a 1st order polynomial( ax+b ). What is the answer if we can do parallel p...
  • Ans. 

    The minimum number of steps needed to find the value of an nth order polynomial is n+1.

    • To find the value of a 1st order polynomial, we need 2 steps (1 multiplication and 1 addition).

    • For an nth order polynomial, we need to compute n 1st order polynomials and perform n-1 additions.

    • Therefore, the minimum number of steps is n+1.

    • If parallel processing is allowed, we can compute the value of each 1st order polynomial simulta...

  • Q2. What is homography?
  • Ans. 

    Homography is a transformation that maps points in one image to corresponding points in another image.

    • Homography is a 3x3 matrix that represents a planar perspective transformation.

    • It is used in computer vision to align images, stitch panoramas, and perform image registration.

    • Homography can be estimated using feature matching techniques like SIFT or SURF.

    • It assumes a projective transformation between two images.

    • Example...

  • Q3. What is perspective distortion? How do you correct it?
  • Ans. 

    Perspective distortion is the distortion that occurs when objects appear differently due to the angle of view. It can be corrected using software or adjusting the camera position.

    • Perspective distortion happens when objects appear distorted or skewed due to the camera's angle of view.

    • It is commonly seen in architectural photography, where buildings may appear to lean or converge.

    • To correct perspective distortion, softwa...

  • Q4. What is histogram equilization. What does it do to the probability distribution of pixels?
  • Ans. 

    Histogram equalization is a technique to enhance the contrast of an image by redistributing pixel intensities.

    • Histogram equalization stretches the histogram of an image to cover the entire range of pixel values.

    • It increases the dynamic range of an image, making it visually more appealing.

    • It improves the visibility of details in both dark and bright regions of an image.

    • Histogram equalization can be used to enhance image...
