Overview of this book

With the advancements in wireless devices and mobile technology, there's increasing demand for people with digital image processing skills in order to extract useful information from the ever-growing volume of images. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the relevant tools and algorithms, and guides you through analysis and visualization for image processing. With the help of over 60 cutting-edge recipes, you'll address common challenges in image processing and learn how to perform complex tasks such as object detection, image segmentation, and image reconstruction using large hybrid datasets. Dedicated sections will also take you through implementing various image enhancement and image restoration techniques, such as cartooning, gradient blending, and sparse dictionary learning. As you advance, you'll get to grips with face morphing and image segmentation techniques. With an emphasis on practical solutions, this book will help you apply deep learning techniques such as transfer learning and fine-tuning to solve real-world problems. By the end of this book, you'll be proficient in utilizing the capabilities of the Python ecosystem to implement various image processing techniques effectively.

Technical requirements

To run the codes without any errors, you need to first install Python 3 (for example, 3.6) and the required libraries, if they are not already installed. If you are working on Windows, you are recommended to install the Anaconda distribution. You also need to install the jupyter library to work with the notebooks.

All of the code files in this book are available in the GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Python-Image-Processing-Cookbook. You should clone the repository (to your working directory). Corresponding to each chapter, there is a folder and each folder contains a notebook with the complete code (for all of the recipes for each chapter); a subfolder named images, which contains all the input images (and related files) required for that chapter; and (optionally) another sub-folder named models, which contains the models and related files to be used for the recipes in that chapter.
