Book excerpt: The first project in chapter one which is Canny Edge Detector presented here is a graphical user interface (GUI) application built using Tkinter in Python. This application allows users to open video files (of formats like mp4, avi, or mkv) and view them along with their corresponding Canny edge detection frames. The application provides functionalities such as playing, pausing, stopping, navigating through frames, and jumping to specific times within the video. Upon opening the application, users are greeted with a clean interface comprising two main sections: the video display panel and the control panel. The video display panel consists of two canvas widgets, one for displaying the original video and another for displaying the Canny edge detection result. These canvases allow users to visualize the video and its corresponding edge detection in real-time. The control panel houses various buttons and widgets for controlling the video playback and interaction. Users can open video files using the "Open Video" button, select a zoom scale for viewing convenience, jump to specific times within the video, play/pause the video, stop the video, navigate through frames, and even open another instance of the application for simultaneous use. The core functionality lies in the methods responsible for displaying frames and performing Canny edge detection. The show_frame() method retrieves frames from the video, resizes them based on the selected zoom scale, and displays them on the original video canvas. Similarly, the show_canny_frame() method applies the Canny edge detection algorithm to the frames, enhances the edges using dilation, and displays the resulting edge detection frames on the corresponding canvas. The application also supports mouse interactions such as dragging to pan the video frames within the canvas and scrolling to navigate through frames. These interactions are facilitated by event handling methods like on_press(), on_drag(), and on_scroll(), ensuring smooth user experience and intuitive control over video playback and exploration. Overall, this project provides a user-friendly platform for visualizing video content and exploring Canny edge detection results, making it valuable for educational purposes, research, or practical applications involving image processing and computer vision. This second project in chapter one implements a graphical user interface (GUI) application for performing edge detection using the Prewitt operator on videos. The purpose of the code is to provide users with a tool to visualize videos, apply the Prewitt edge detection algorithm, and interactively control playback and visualization parameters. The third project in chapter one which is "Sobel Edge Detector" is implemented in Python using Tkinter and OpenCV serves as a graphical user interface (GUI) for viewing and analyzing videos with real-time Sobel edge detection capabilities. The "Frei-Chen Edge Detection" project as fourth project in chapter one is a graphical user interface (GUI) application built using Python and the Tkinter library. The application is designed to process and visualize video files by detecting edges using the Frei-Chen edge detection algorithm. The core functionality of the application lies in the implementation of the Frei-Chen edge detection algorithm. This algorithm involves convolving the video frames with predefined kernels to compute the gradient magnitude, which represents the strength of edges in the image. The resulting edge-detected frames are thresholded to convert grayscale values to binary values, enhancing the visibility of edges. The application also includes features for user interaction, such as mouse wheel scrolling to zoom in and out, click-and-drag functionality to pan across the video frames, and input fields for jumping to specific times within the video. Additionally, users have the option to open multiple instances of the application simultaneously to analyze different videos concurrently, providing flexibility and convenience in video processing tasks. Overall, the "Frei-Chen Edge Detection" project offers a user-friendly interface for edge detection in videos, empowering users to explore and analyze visual data effectively. The "KIRSCH EDGE DETECTOR" project as the fifth project in chapter one is a Python application built using Tkinter, OpenCV, and NumPy libraries for performing edge detection on video files. It handles the visualization of the edge-detected frames in real-time. It retrieves the current frame from the video, applies Gaussian blur for noise reduction, performs Kirsch edge detection, and applies thresholding to obtain the binary edge image. The processed frame is then displayed on the canvas alongside the original video. This "SCHARR EDGE DETECTOR" as the sixth project in chapter one is creating a graphical user interface (GUI) to visualize edge detection in videos using the Scharr algorithm. It allows users to open video files, play/pause video playback, navigate frame by frame, and apply Scharr edge detection in real-time. The GUI consists of multiple components organized into panels. The main panel displays the original video on the left side and the edge-detected video using the Scharr algorithm on the right side. Both panels utilize Tkinter Canvas widgets for efficient rendering and manipulation of video frames. Users can interact with the application using control buttons located in the control panel. These buttons include options to open a video file, adjust the zoom scale, jump to a specific time in the video, play/pause video playback, stop the video, navigate to the previous or next frame, and open another instance of the application for parallel video analysis. The core functionality of the application lies in the VideoScharr class, which encapsulates methods for video loading, playback control, frame processing, and edge detection using the Scharr algorithm. The apply_scharr method implements the Scharr edge detection algorithm, applying a pair of 3x3 convolution kernels to compute horizontal and vertical derivatives of the image and then combining them to calculate the edge magnitude. Overall, the "SCHARR EDGE DETECTOR" project provides users with an intuitive interface to explore edge detection techniques in videos using the Scharr algorithm. It combines the power of image processing libraries like OpenCV and the flexibility of Tkinter for creating interactive and responsive GUI applications in Python.

Upon video file opening, the application utilizes imageio.get_reader() for video reading, while play_video() and play_filtered_video() methods handle frame display. Individual frame rendering is managed by show_frame() and show_mean_frame(), incorporating noise addition through the add_noise() method. Mouse wheel scrolling, canvas dragging, and scrollbar scrolling are facilitated through event handlers, enhancing user interaction. Supplementary functionalities include time navigation, frame navigation, and the ability to open multiple instances using open_another_player(). The main() function initializes the Tkinter application and executes the event loop for GUI display. The third project in chapter two aims to develop a user-friendly graphical interface application for filtering video frames with a median filter. Supporting various video formats like MP4, AVI, and MKV, users can seamlessly open, play, pause, stop, and navigate through video frames.
