Assignment No 1

The document contains four programming assignments involving Python and shell scripting. The first assignment captures an image from a webcam, converts it to grayscale, and logs the timestamp and file size in a CSV file. The other assignments involve calculating average student grades from a CSV file, backing up a directory while logging disk usage, and compressing a directory while listing its contents.

Assignment No 6

1. Write a Python script that captures an image from a


webcam, converts it to grayscale, and saves it. Use
pandas to log the timestamp of when the image was
taken and the file size of the saved image in a CSV file.
Ans. import cv2
import pandas as pd
import os
from datetime import datetime
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
ret, frame = cap.read()
cap.release()
if ret:
gray_frame = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
filename = 'captured_image.jpg'
cv2.imwrite(filename, gray_frame)
file_size = os.path.getsize(filename)
log_data = {'Timestamp': [datetime.now()], 'File Size (bytes)':
[file_size]}
df = pd.DataFrame(log_data)
df.to_csv('image_log.csv', mode='a', index=False,
header=False)
print(f"Image saved as {filename} with size {file_size}
bytes.")
else:
print("Failed to capture image.")
2. Write a script that reads a CSV file containing student grades,
calculates the average grade, and writes the results to a new
CSV file.
Ans. import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('student_grades.csv')
df['Average Grade'] = df.mean(axis=1)
df.to_csv('average_grades.csv', index=False)
print("Average grades calculated and saved.")

3. Write a shell script that backs up a directory and logs the disk
usage before and after the backup.
Ans. src_dir="/path/to/source"
dest_dir="/path/to/destination"
log_file="backup_log.txt"
echo "Backup started at $(date)" >> $log_file
echo "Disk usage before backup:" >> $log_file
df -h >> $log_file
cp -r $src_dir $dest_dir
echo "Backup completed at $(date)" >> $log_file
echo "Disk usage after backup:" >> $log_file
df -h >> $log_file
echo "Backup and logging completed."
4. Write a Python script that calls a shell script to compress a
directory and then lists the contents of the compressed file.s
Ans. import subprocess
import os
subprocess.call(['./compress_dir.sh'])
compressed_file = 'compressed_dir.tar.gz'
subprocess.call(['tar', '-tzf', compressed_file])
