How can I use SciPy for image processing?

How can I use SciPy for image processing?

You can use SciPy's ndimage module for various image processing tasks like filtering, morphology, and transformations.

Can you show me an example of applying a Gaussian filter?

Sure! You can use scipy.ndimage.gaussian_filter to apply a Gaussian filter. Here's a simple example:

from scipy import ndimage
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

image = plt.imread('your_image.png')
filtered_image = ndimage.gaussian_filter(image, sigma=3)
plt.imshow(filtered_image)
plt.show()

What other filters can I apply using SciPy?

You can also use filters like median, sobel, and laplace. Each serves different purposes in image processing.

How do I perform edge detection?

For edge detection, you can use the Sobel filter from scipy.ndimage. Here's how:

from scipy import ndimage

edges = ndimage.sobel(image)
plt.imshow(edges, cmap='gray')
plt.show()
