z-buffer:

z-buffer is a technique in computer graphics that focuses on individual pixels rather than entire object to determine foreground and background. It is used to determine whether an object is visible in a scene. The depth of the generated pixel of an object projected on the screen is stored in buffer, as the depth is represented by z-axis it is known as z-buffer.

For the following 2 images, both have 8x8 size with black and white pixels. Although they look quite different, their histograms are identical. Suppose that both images are blurred with a 3x3 smoothing masks with zeros edge extension, would the new histograms still be the same? Explain your answer. 2.
Apply the histogram equalization process in the range of [0-15] for the image fragment given below. Show the new pixel values obtained as a result of histogram equalization in the blank image on the right. (I would be very happy if you could be quick.)
For three objects, sorted from front to back with the colors C0 = 0.2, C1 = 0.8, C2 = 0.5 and the background color Cbg= 1(white). Compute the final pixel color by front to back and back to front compositing for the following alpha values α0=0.2, α1=0.4, α2=0.1. For the background, you can assume αbg = 1 (fully opaque). You can think of the background as a fourth layer.
