High-Pass and Band-Pass Filtering
Introduction
Sharpening
Blurring is low-pass filtering, so deblurring is high-pass filtering.

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

High-Boost Filtering
H(u) = 1 + α HP(u)
I
HP(u) is a high-pass filter

α controls how much to boost the higher frequencies

I
The “cutoff” frequency uc controls where the cutoff occurs.
I
The parameter n controls the sharpness of the cutoff.

Tradeoff: Blurring vs. Noise
I
Low-pass reduces noise but accentuates blurring
I
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.

Summary
Summary: Filtering
Consider what you want to do in the frequency domain
(the shape of the filter)
Convert signal to/from
frequency domain
Convert filter to equivalent
convolution operations
