Hw 5.1 Learn the Gaussian Filter. Calculate the convolution kernel for the Gaussian filter (Show your calculations and important parameters), apply on the noisy phantom, display both original and filtered images. Calculate the SNR and CNR.
HW 5.2 Gaussian filter and mean filters are smoothing filters. For example, consider the blurring effect of the mean filter.

Blur (with mean filter)
You can use them also for image sharpening as a part of unsharp filter. You can create a filter by combining two filters: one multiplies the intensities of the image by 2, and the other subtracts the blurred image as follows: I

Apply the unsharp filter operation given above to the noisy phantom using the Gaussian filter instead of mean filter you derived in HW5. I and display the sharpened result.
