DFT Sample Exam Problems with Solutions

1. Consider an M  M -pixel gray level real image f ( x, y) which is zero outside −𝑀 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 𝑀 and
−𝑀 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 𝑀. Show that:
(i) 𝐹(−𝑢, −𝑣) = 𝐹 ∗ (𝑢, 𝑣) with 𝐹(𝑢, 𝑣) the two-dimensional Discrete Fourier Transform of
𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦).
(ii) In order for the image to have the imaginary part of its two-dimensional Discrete Fourier
Transform equal to zero, the image must be symmetric around the origin.
(iii) In order for the image to have the real part of its two-dimensional Discrete Fourier
Transform equal to zero, the image must be antisymmetric around the origin.

Solution
2. Consider the images shown below (A to H). Using knowledge of properties of the two-dimensional
Discrete Fourier Transform symmetry and not exact calculation of it, list which image(s) will have
a two-dimensional Discrete Fourier Transform 𝐹(𝑢, 𝑣) with the following properties:
(i) The imaginary part of 𝐹(𝑢, 𝑣) is zero for all 𝑢, 𝑣.
(ii) 𝐹(0,0) = 0
(iii) 𝐹(𝑢, 𝑣) has circular symmetry.
(iv) The real part of 𝐹(𝑢, 𝑣) is zero for all 𝑢, 𝑣.

Solution
3. Consider an M  M -pixel gray level image f ( x, y) which is zero outside 0  x  M − 1 and
0  y  M − 1 . The image intensity is given by the following relationship
c, x = x1 , x = x 2 , 0  y  M − 1
f ( x, y ) = 
0, otherwise
where c is a constant value between 0 and 255 and x1 , x2 x1  x2 are constant values between 0
and M − 1 .
(i) Plot the image intensity.
(ii) Find the M  M -point Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of f ( x, y) .
(iii) Compare the original image and its Fourier Transform.

(ii) For an image which contains only a single non-zero edge at x = x1 , the M  N -point
Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of f ( x, y) is given as follows:
1 M −1 N −1 − j 2 ( ux / M + vy / N ) 1 N −1 − j 2 ( ux1 / M + vy / N )

(iii) As seen a set of parallel straight lines in space implies a straight line perpendicular to the
original one in frequency.

4. Consider the image shown in Figure 1.1(a) below. Two plots of magnitude of Two-Dimensional
Discrete Fourier Transform (2D DFT) are shown in Figure 1.1(b) and 1.1(c) below. Discuss which
one is the magnitude of the 2D DFT of the image of Figure 1.1(a). Justify your answer.
(a) (b) (c)
Figure 1.1

Solution

Figure (c) is the right answer since it contains edges which are perpendicular to the edges of the
original image. As we know, each image in space produces a perpendicular image in the amplitude
of the DFT.

5. Consider an M  N -pixel image f ( x, y) which is zero outside 0  x  M − 1 and 0  y  N − 1 .


In transform coding, we discard the transform coefficients with small magnitudes and code only
those with large magnitudes. Let F (u, v) denote the M  N -point Discrete Fourier Transform
(DFT) of f ( x, y) . Let G(u, v) denote F (u, v) modified by
F (u, v), when F (u, v) is large
G(u, v) = 
0, otherwise
Let

  G (u, v) 9

M −1 N −1

  F (u, v)

We reconstruct an image g ( x, y) by computing the M  N -point inverse DFT of G(u, v) . Express
M −1 N −1 M −1 N −1
  ( f ( x, y) − g ( x, y)) in terms of   f ( x, y) .
2 2

x =0 y =0 x =0 y =0

Solution

The signal f ( x, y) − g ( x, y) is obtained by the Inverse DFT of the signal F (u, v) − G(u, v) .
Therefore, according to Parseval’s theorem the energy of the signal f ( x, y) − g ( x, y) is equal to
the energy of the signal F (u, v) − G(u, v) . The signal F (u, v) − G(u, v) consists of the DFT
samples of F (u, v) which were excluded in forming G(u, v) . Since, G(u, v) captures 0.9 of the
energy of F (u, v) , the signal F (u, v) − G(u, v) will capture 0.1 of the energy of F (u, v) .
Therefore,
M −1 N −1 M −1 N −1
  ( f ( x, y) − g ( x, y)) = 0.1   f ( x, y)

x =0 y =0 x =0 y =0
