This line of code converts the original color image (image) to a grayscale image.
cv2.cvtColor() is the OpenCV function used to perform color space conversion.
image is the input image that you want to convert.
cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY is a flag that specifies the conversion from BGR (blue, green,
red) color space to grayscale. It converts a color image to a single-channel
grayscale image.
cv2.GaussianBlur(image, (5, 5), 0):
This line detects edges in the grayscale image (gray_image) using the Canny edge
detector.
cv2.Canny() is the function used for edge detection using the Canny algorithm.
gray_image is the input grayscale image on which edge detection is performed.
100 and 200 are threshold values used in the Canny algorithm. These values
determine which edges are detected. Any gradient value above the second threshold
(200) is considered an edge, and any value below the first threshold (100) is
considered not an edge. Intermediate values are classified based on their
connectivity to strong edges.
These operations are fundamental in image processing and are often used as
preprocessing steps for various computer vision tasks, such as feature extraction,
object detection, and image analysis.
