Test 10.1
Which of the following 1-D concepts generalize simply and
usefully to 2-D?
Solution: See Section 10-1.1. DTFT becomes
DSFT and impulse response becomes point-spread function.
Test 10.2
Which of the following 1-D concepts do not generalize usefully
to 2-D?
Solution: See Section 10-1.1.
Test 10.3
An LSI system has PSF
$\displaystyle
h[m,n]=\left[\matrix{1 & 2 & 1\cr 2 &
\underline{4} & 2\cr 1 & 2 & 1}\right].
$
What is its wavenumber response? (HINT: $h[m,n]$ is separable.)
Solution: By inspection, $h[m,n]=h[m]\;h[n]$
where $h[n]=\{1,\underline{2},1\}$.
$h[n]$ has DTFT ${\bf H} (e^{j\Omega})=2+2\cos(\Omega)$.
$\displaystyle
{\bf H} (e^{j\Omega_1},e^{j\Omega_2})=(2+2\cos(\Omega_1))(2+2\cos(\Omega_2)).
$
Test 10.4
The 2-D discrete Laplacian has PSF
$\displaystyle
h[m,n]=\left[\matrix{0 & 1 &
0\cr 1 & \underline{-4} & 1\cr 0 & 1 & 0}\right].
$
Its wavenumber response is:
Which impulse response is a quadrature mirror filter pair with
$\{1,2,3,4\}$?
Solution: $\{a,b,c,d\}$ is a QMF pair with
$\pm\{d,-c,b,-a\}$.
See Eq. 10.109, which is
$\displaystyle h[n] = (-1)^n\,g[L-n].$
Test 10.19
Which scaling impulse response $g[n]$ satisfies the
Smith-Barnwell condition?
Solution: Smith-Barnwell condition:
Autocorrelation of $g[n]$ is 0 for even $n\ne 0$. For
$g[n]=\{a,b,c,d\}$: $ac+bd=0$ and $a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2=1$. Only ${\bf B}$
satisfes the former. See Section 10-11.4.
Test 10.20
The Smith-Barnwell condition is which of the following?
Solution: (a) is Eq. (10.108) and (b) is
Eq. (10.113). See Section 10-11.
Test 10.21
Which of these signal types do Daubechies wavelet functions
sparsify?
Solution: By construction, Daubechies
wavelet functions sparsify polynomials.
Test 10.22
If $\underline{x}$ is a sparse solution to the underdetermined
linear system of equations $\underline{y}=A\underline{x}$, find the
solution $\underline{x}$ that minimizes
Solution: This is the $\ell_1$ norm of
$\underline{x}$.
Test 10.23
Which of the following is/are an essential ingredient of
compressed sensing?
Solution: Wavelets result in a sparse
representation, by minimizing the $\ell_1$ norm. Landweber is just to
solve systems of equations. Basis pursuit and IRLS can be used.
Test 10.24
At each iteration of the ISTA, which of these operations are
performed:
Solution: See Section 10-17.3.
Test 10.25
To denoise a signal or image, what should we do to its wavelet
transform?
Solution: See Section 10-14.
Test 10.26
The LASSO functional does which of the following?
Solution: See Section 10-14.
Test 10.27
Which of the following algorithms can be used to find a sparse
solution to a linear system of equations?
Solution: See Sections 10-16 and 10-17.
Test 10.28
Apply thresholding and shrinkage with $\lambda=1$ to
$\{4,2,0.7,-0.8,-3,-5\}$:
Solution: See Eq. (10.166),
which is derived in Section 10-14 and is
