$1.($a$)$ Image enhancement in the frequency domain is an important

application in image analysis. What do the spectral peaks in a

Fourier spectrum represent in the Fourier domain and how do they

relate to the content of the spatial domain image? Describe briefly

the process for how modification of spectral peaks results in image

enhancement. State any assumptions made.

$($b$)$ Explain the significance of psychovisual redundancy in image

analysis. Describe how psychovisual redundancy can be

implemented in both the spatial domain and in the frequency

domain. What type of imagery would not be appropriate for coding

based on psychovisual redundancy?

$($c$)$ Develop TWO suitable algorithms that solve the following tasks

$($ONE algorithm for each task$).$ Your answer should include a

selection of appropriate image features and image analysis methods

and describe how they are applied. State any assumptions that you

make.

$($i$)$ Counting the number of cells in an image of a microscope

slide.

$($ii$)$ Determining a vehicle$$s make and model based on a single

side profile image of the vehicle.
