Write a Python/OpenCV program that will allow you to compare Sobel edge detection with Canny edge detection. Name your script EdgeDetection.py . Paste this script into your answer sheet, and also submit the source file. Your program should do the following: • Load an image in grayscale format. The image is provided to you in file boat.png, and you should hard-code this file name into your program. • For each pixel in the input image, apply the horizontal and vertical Sobel operators and compute the magnitude of the intensity gradient. (For this part, your code must access pixel values

»Write a Python/OpenCV program that will allow you to compare Sobel edge detection with Canny edge detection. Name your script EdgeDetection.py . Paste this script into your answer sheet, and also submit the source file. Your program should do the following: • Load an image in grayscale format. The image is provided to you in file boat.png, and you should hard-code this file name into your program. • For each pixel in the input image, apply the horizontal and vertical Sobel operators and compute the magnitude of the intensity gradient. (For this part, your code must access pixel values directly, possibly using for loops. Yes, I know that OpenCV has a built-in cv2.Sobel function, but you cannot use it for this problem. However, you could use it during debugging to check your implementation.) • Scale the gradient magnitude values to the range [0, 255] to simplify viewing. Write the resulting image to a file named outputsobel.png . Paste this output image into your answer sheet, and also submit the image file. • Separately, perform Canny edge detection on the input image. For this case, you are allowed to use OpenCV functions such as cv2.Canny. Try to select parameters (for sigma, etc.) that find edges similar to your Sobel result. Write your Canny result to a file named outputcanny.png . Paste this output image into your answer sheet, and also submit the image file Notes: • For this problem, except for the Canny part, do not use any OpenCV functions other than for loading and saving image files. • Your output images should be the same size (rows and columns) as the input image. You may use any technique to assign pixel values near the image border. The question is self sufficient & doesn’t need additional information!!
