octave: Image Processing
32 Image Processing
*******************
Since an image is basically a matrix, Octave is a very powerful
environment for processing and analyzing images. To illustrate how easy
it is to do image processing in Octave, the following example will load
an image, smooth it by a 5-by-5 averaging filter, and compute the
gradient of the smoothed image.
I = imread ("myimage.jpg");
S = conv2 (I, ones (5, 5) / 25, "same");
[Dx, Dy] = gradient (S);
In this example ‘S’ contains the smoothed image, and ‘Dx’ and ‘Dy’
contains the partial spatial derivatives of the image.
