Welcome to the image processing tutorial! This guide will walk you through the basics of manipulating and analyzing digital images using various tools and techniques. 🌟
What is Image Processing?
Image processing involves using algorithms to perform operations on images, such as:
- Enhancing image quality 📈
- Detecting edges or patterns 🔍
- Adjusting colors and brightness 🎨
- Resizing or rotating images 🔄
It's widely used in fields like computer vision, photography, and medical imaging. 🩺📷
Popular Tools for Image Processing
Here are some commonly used tools and libraries:
- Python's PIL (Pillow) 🐍
A powerful library for image manipulation in Python.
