This project captures an image from a connected webcam and applies image processing techniques to enhance its sharpness. The sharpening is done using gradient operators, specifically the Sobel operator, which highlights the edges and fine details of the image.

• MATLAB (R2014a or later)
• Image Processing Toolbox
• A connected webcam

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/webcam-image-sharpening.git
   cd webcam-image-sharpening
   

2. Open MATLAB:

   Open MATLAB and navigate to the cloned repository folder.

3. Ensure Your Webcam is Properly Connected:

   Make sure your webcam is connected and recognized by MATLAB.

1. Run the Script:

   Execute the webcam_image_sharpening.m script in MATLAB.

   webcam_image_sharpening
   

2. Capture Image

   The script will initialize the webcam and capture an image.

3. Image Processing

   The script converts the captured image to grayscale, applies the Sobel operator to compute gradients, and enhances the image by sharpening it using the gradient magnitude.

4. Display Results

   The original grayscale image, the gradient magnitude, and the sharpened image will be displayed side by side.
