To perform edge detection using Sobel, Laplacian, and Canny edge detectors.
Anaconda - Python 3.7
Import the required packages.
Read the image and cconvert into gray image.
Remove the noise of the image using gaussian operator.
Find the sobel edge,laplacian edge,canny edge using the built in modules available in opencv.
Plot the edged image using matplotlib.
# Import the packages
# Import the packages
import cv2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Load the image, Convert to grayscale and remove noise
ip_img=cv2.imread("drift.jpg")
gray_img=cv2.cvtColor(ip_img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
cv2.imshow("Gray image",gray_img)
img=cv2.GaussianBlur(gray_img,(3,3),0)
# SOBEL EDGE DETECTOR
sobelx = cv2.Sobel(img,cv2.CV_64F,1,0,ksize=5)
sobely = cv2.Sobel(img,cv2.CV_64F,0,1,ksize=5)
sobelxy = cv2.Sobel(img,cv2.CV_64F,1,1,ksize=5)
plt.figure(1)
plt.subplot(2,2,1),plt.imshow(img,cmap = 'gray')
plt.title('Original'), plt.xticks([]), plt.yticks([])
plt.show()
plt.figure(1)
plt.subplot(2,2,1),plt.imshow(sobelx,cmap = 'gray')
plt.title('Sobelx'), plt.xticks([]), plt.yticks([])
plt.show()
plt.figure(1)
plt.subplot(2,2,1),plt.imshow(sobely,cmap = 'gray')
plt.title('Sobely'), plt.xticks([]), plt.yticks([])
plt.show()
plt.figure(1)
plt.subplot(2,2,1),plt.imshow(sobelxy,cmap = 'gray')
plt.title('Sobelxy'), plt.xticks([]), plt.yticks([])
plt.show()
# LAPLACIAN EDGE DETECTOR
laplacian = cv2.Laplacian(img,cv2.CV_64F)
plt.figure(1)
plt.subplot(2,2,1),plt.imshow(laplacian,cmap = 'gray')
plt.title('Laplacian_operator'), plt.xticks([]), plt.yticks([])
plt.show()
# CANNY EDGE DETECTOR
canny_edges = cv2.Canny(img, 120, 150)
plt.figure(1)
plt.subplot(2,2,1),plt.imshow(canny_edges,cmap = 'gray')
plt.title('Canny_operator'), plt.xticks([]), plt.yticks([])
plt.show()
Thus the edges are detected using Sobel, Laplacian, and Canny edge detectors.
