Features

• Add various noise types to images such as uniform, guassian & salt-pepper noise.
• Filtration of noisy images using low pass filters such as: average, Gaussian, median filters.
• Edge detection using variety of masks such as: Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and canny edge detectors.
• Change RGB images to grayscale
• View histograms of images and show equalization & normalization of image.
• Add frequency domain filters such as low-pass, high-pass & Gaussian filters.
• Mix images in frequency domain to get Hybrid images.
• Apply Hough transform for detecting parametric shapes like circles, ellipses and lines
• Apply Active Contour Model for semi-supervised shape delineation.
• Extract the unique features in all images using Harris operator
• Generate feature descriptors using scale invariant features (SIFT).
• Match the image set features using sum of squared differences (SSD) and normalized cross correlations (NCC).
• Apply thresholding using optimal thresholding, Otsu, spectral thresholding (more than 2 modes), local & global thresholding.
• Do unspervised segmentation using k-means, region growing, agglomerative and mean shift methods.
• Detect faces (color or grayscale)
• Recognize faces based on PCA/Eigen analysis

Dependenices

- Qt Version 6.4.2
- Qt Charts
- OpenCV 4.7.0

How to run the project

• Download and Install Qt from the online installer using minGW 64 architecture.

www.qt.io

make sure that QtCharts is enabled

• Download and build openCV 4.7.0 from their website

www.opencv.org/releases/

• if you don't know how to build openCV on your PC please refer to the installCV.md

• Go to the project.pro file and make sure that openCV libraries are refered to in your pc like that.
