Get the image of "Apples.jpeg" attached with the TMA and perform the following image processing operations to it:

a$)$ Read the image into MATLAB and plot it$.(2$ marks$)$

b$)$ Convert the read image in part $($a$)$ into a grayscale image, save it and plot the result. $(2$ marks$)$

c$)$ Convert a grayscale image into a binary image $($Black and white$).(2$ marks$)$

d$)$ Write a script to perform histogram equalization on a grayscale image and display the before$-$and$-$after images along with their histograms. $(4$ marks$)$

e$)$ Perform edge detection on a grayscale image using the Sobel operator. Then display the edges detected in the image. $(2$ marks$)$

f$)$ Write a MATLAB script to add Gaussian noise to an image and then apply a median filter to reduce the noise. Display the noisy and filtered images side by side. $(3$ marks$)$
