#MATLAB #ImageProcessing #Filtering #Noise

#16. imnoise()
Adds a specified type of noise to an image.

img = imread('cameraman.tif');
noisy_img = imnoise(img, 'salt & pepper', 0.02);
imshow(noisy_img);
title('Image with Salt & Pepper Noise');

Output: A figure window displays the cameraman image with random white and black pixels (noise).

#17. fspecial()
Creates a predefined 2-D filter kernel (e.g., for averaging, Gaussian blur, Laplacian).

h = fspecial('motion', 20, 45); % Create a motion blur filter
disp('Generated a 2D motion filter kernel.');
disp(h);

Generated a 2D motion filter kernel.
(Output is a matrix representing the filter kernel)

#18. imfilter()
Filters a multidimensional image with a specified filter kernel.

img = imread('cameraman.tif');
h = fspecial('motion', 20, 45);
motion_blur_img = imfilter(img, h, 'replicate');
imshow(motion_blur_img);
title('Motion Blurred Image');

Output: A figure window shows the cameraman image with a motion blur effect applied at a 45-degree angle.

#19. medfilt2()
Performs 2-D median filtering, which is excellent for removing 'salt & pepper' noise.

noisy_img = imnoise(imread('cameraman.tif'), 'salt & pepper', 0.02);
denoised_img = medfilt2(noisy_img);
imshow(denoised_img);
title('Denoised with Median Filter');

Output: A figure window shows the noisy image significantly cleaned up, with most salt & pepper noise removed.

#20. edge()
Finds edges in an intensity image using various algorithms (e.g., Sobel, Canny).

img = imread('cameraman.tif');
edges = edge(img, 'Canny');
imshow(edges);
title('Edges found with Canny Detector');

Output: A figure window displays a binary image showing only the detected edges from the original image in white.

#21. graythresh()
Computes a global image threshold from a grayscale image using Otsu's method.

img = imread('coins.png');
level = graythresh(img);
disp(['Optimal threshold level (Otsu): ', num2str(level)]);

Optimal threshold level (Otsu): 0.49412

#22. imbinarize()
Converts a grayscale image to a binary image based on a threshold.

img = imread('coins.png');
level = graythresh(img); % Find optimal threshold
bw_img = imbinarize(img, level);
imshow(bw_img);
title('Binarized Image (Otsu Method)');

Output: A figure window displays a black and white image of the coins.

#23. strel()
Creates a morphological structuring element (SE), which is used to probe an image in morphological operations.

se = strel('disk', 5);
disp('Created a disk-shaped structuring element with radius 5.');
disp(se);

Created a disk-shaped structuring element with radius 5.
(Output describes the strel object and shows its matrix representation)

#24. imdilate()
Dilates a binary image, making objects larger and filling small holes.

img = imread('text.png');
se = strel('line', 3, 90); % A vertical line SE
dilated_img = imdilate(img, se);
imshow(dilated_img);
title('Dilated Text');

Output: A figure window shows the text characters appearing thicker, especially in the vertical direction.

#25. imerode()
Erodes a binary image, shrinking objects and removing small noise.

img = imread('text.png');
se = strel('line', 3, 0); % A horizontal line SE
eroded_img = imerode(img, se);
imshow(eroded_img);
title('Eroded Text');

Output: A figure window shows the text characters appearing thinner, with horizontal parts possibly disappearing.
