Filtering RANSAC Estimated Homographies

I am using RANSAC algorithm for homography estimation between pairs of images taken with cameras which do not have any translation between them (pure rotation and change of scale/zoom). It works well in half of the cases. The correct output looks…

Solving a Convolution Problem of a 1D Signal

I'm finding in trouble trying to resolve this exercise. I have to calculate the convolution of this signal: $$y(t)=e^{-kt}u(t)\frac{\sin\left(\dfrac{{\pi}t}{10}\right)}{({\pi}t)} $$ where $u(t)$ is Heavyside function well I applied the formula that…

What is the link between the homography computed over 2 images and the homography computed over the same images upside down?

With OpenCV, I compute the homography between, say, these two images: and Don't worry about the strange white form on the right side, it is due to the smartphone holder I use. The homography, given by findHomography() function (using points…

Finding local peaks in-between samples

I have $n$ discrete samples of a seismic signal $y[n]$: I want to find local maxima in the signal. A naive test for if $y[n]$ is a maximum would be: $$y[n]: maxima \textbf{ if } y[n] > y[n-1] \textbf{ and } y[n] > y[n+1]$$ However the maxima are…

Understanding multirate filtering fundamentals

I am having trouble grasping some of the fundamental concepts of multirate filtering. I see from various sources that the basic building blocks of a multirate filter are the dyadic analysis and synthesis blocks. Question 1: The analysis block…

Finding the z-transform of $h[n] = a^n\cos(2\pi \frac{n}{F_s}f_0)$ for $n ≥ 0$ and zero for $n < 0$

So I'm trying to decide whether the cosine part is intended to be plugged in for $z$ or whether it is strictly part of $h[n]$. (the number a lies in the open unit disk) I mean I was pretty sure it was all part of $h[n]$ but then upon performing the…
