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.

Applying Morphological filters

As you have seen from the last recipe, morphological operators (such as erosion, dilation, erode, opening, and closing) can be applied through binary image filtering to grow/shrink image regions, as well as to remove or fill in image region boundary pixels. In this recipe, you will learn how to apply a few more morphological filters to a binary image to enhance the image or get the desired results. Some more morphology filters include top-hat transforms, morphological gradient, and morphological Laplace.

Getting ready

Import the necessary libraries, modules, and functions required to start by using the following code block:

#!pip install itk 
from
skimage.morphology import flood_fill, diameter_closing...
