• Read an image and extract and display low-level

features such as edges, textures using filtering


techniques.
import cv2 // Import the cv2 module

import numpy as np // import numpy library


image = cv2.imread('images.jpg', cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)
'images.jpg':
• This is the file path of the image you want to read.
cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE:
• This is a flag used with cv2.imread() to specify how
the image should be read.

• cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE indicates that the image


should be read as a grayscale image.
Note:

Original Image Detected edges


Image gradient
• Image gradient is defined as a directional change in
image intensity.
• Gradient measures the change in pixel intensity in a
given direction.
• By estimating the direction or orientation along with
the magnitude (i.e. how strong the change in
direction is), we are able to detect regions of an
image that look like edges.
• Image gradients are estimated using kernels or filters.

• The first derivative of an image measures the rate of


change of pixel intensity.
• It is useful for detecting edges because edges are
locations in the image where the intensity changes
rapidly.

• The first derivative can be approximated using gradient


operators like the Sobel.
• sobel_x = cv2.Sobel(image, cv2.CV_64F, 1, 0, ksize=3)
image
• The input image (grayscale or color) on which the Sobel operation will be
applied.
cv2.CV_64F
• The desired depth of the output image. CV_64F specifies a 64-bit
floating-point output.
1
The order of the derivative in the x-direction (Sobel kernel used for horizontal
gradient).
0
The order of the derivative in the y-direction (Sobel kernel used for vertical
gradient).
ksize :
Size of the kernel
Example of Sobel Edge Detection
• sobel_y = cv2.Sobel(image, cv2.CV_64F, 0, 1, ksize=3)
image
• The input image (grayscale or color) on which the Sobel operation will be
applied.
cv2.CV_64F
• The desired depth of the output image. CV_64F specifies a 64-bit
floating-point output.
0
The order of the derivative in the x-direction (Sobel kernel used for horizontal
gradient).
1
The order of the derivative in the y-direction (Sobel kernel used for vertical
gradient).
ksize :
Size of the kernel
sobel_edge = cv2.magnitude(sobel_x, sobel_y)

• Computes the magnitude of the gradient for each


pixel in the image.
sobel_x: Gradient image in the x-direction (horizontal
gradient).

sobel_y: Gradient image in the y-direction (vertical


gradient).
laplacian_edge = cv2.Laplacian(image, cv2.CV_64F)
• Laplacian is a second order derivative filter.
• Laplacian function applies the Laplacian operator to
the input image (image) to compute the second
derivative of the image intensity.

cv2.CV_64F: Specifies the output image data type


(64-bit floating point) to handle negative Laplacian
values correctly.
# Apply Gaussian blur for texture extraction
gaussian_blur = cv2.GaussianBlur(image, (5, 5), 0)
Gaussian Blur
Syntax:
cv2. GaussianBlur(image, kernelsize, sigmaX )
Image
The image you need to blur
kernelsize
• This parameter specifies the size of the Gaussian kernel
• It should be a tuple (width, height) specifying the kernel
size.
• Both width and height should be odd and positive
numbers.
5 x 5 Kernel
sigmaX

• The Gaussian kernel standard deviation which is the


default set to 0.
cv2.imshow('Original Image', image)
cv2.imshow('Sobel Edge Detection',
np.uint8(sobel_edge))
cv2.imshow('Laplacian Edge Detection',
np.uint8(laplacian_edge))

cv2.imshow('Gaussian Blurred Image', gaussian_blur)

cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
• np.uint8() is used to convert the image data to 8-bit
unsigned integer format.
