Course Description
How can you read images and videos and process them to reveal features of interest? How can you transform the pixels and colors to satisfy specific requirements? The NumPy array structure of images and video frames, as well as OpenCV’s image processing module, provide the necessary foundation to deconstruct and analyze images and videos. This course contains several lessons showing these structures and transformations. Learning these tools is an essential skill in any computer vision project. The topics discussed in these lessons will provide a foundation for future work in object detection and feature extraction.
In these lessons on OpenCV Python Development, you will learn how to read and process images and videos in OpenCV. We will explore color channels, pixels, and geometric and algebraic transformations of images in OpenCV. By the end of these lessons, you will be able to construct and deconstruct images and videos in OpenCV.
