Use Python for the following exercises.

Exercise 6.2 (Binarization)
Implement Otsu binarization algorithm and apply it on the image: sample.png.

Exercise 6.3 (Page Segmentation)
Implement the run-length smearing algorithm with all four steps:
    • Horizontally smear the binary image obtained in the previous task.
    • Vertically smear the binary image obtained in the previous task.
    • Obtain an image by performing pixel-wise AND operation on the two smeared images.
    • Horizontally smear the obtained image to obtain the final bitmap.

Exercise 6.4 (Connected Component Analysis)
Perform connected component analysis on the final image to extract image segments. Draw rect-
angular bounding boxes around the segments in the original input image.
