The histogram equalization applied to a digital image generally DOES NOT yield a truly uniform histogram of the transformed image due to
1
discrete nature of pixel values
2
poor contrast of the original image
3
low frequency image information
4
presence of edges

In tangential method of tacheometry, two vanes in a staff were fixed at a distance of 1.0 m with the bottom vane fixed at 1.0 m. The levelling staff was held vertical at a point P and the vertical angles of the vanes observed were 5°30′ and 3°15', respectively. The vertical distance between the instrument axis and the bottom vane would be _______ m (rounded off to two decimal places).

To reduce the slope distance (S) to an equivalent horizontal distance (H) as shown in the figure given below, the following independent observations were taken.

The required precision of computed horizontal distance is ± 0.005 m. Assume a "balanced accuracy" where the contribution to precision of the horizontal distance comes equally from the slope distance and angle measurements. The minimum number of angle observations to achieve the desired precision is
