Overview of this book

Data analysis enables you to generate value from small and big data by discovering new patterns and trends, and Python is one of the most popular tools for analyzing a wide variety of data. With this book, you’ll get up and running using Python for data analysis by exploring the different phases and methodologies used in data analysis and learning how to use modern libraries from the Python ecosystem to create efficient data pipelines. Starting with the essential statistical and data analysis fundamentals using Python, you’ll perform complex data analysis and modeling, data manipulation, data cleaning, and data visualization using easy-to-follow examples. You’ll then understand how to conduct time series analysis and signal processing using ARMA models. As you advance, you’ll get to grips with smart processing and data analytics using machine learning algorithms such as regression, classification, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and clustering. In the concluding chapters, you’ll work on real-world examples to analyze textual and image data using natural language processing (NLP) and image analytics techniques, respectively. Finally, the book will demonstrate parallel computing using Dask. By the end of this data analysis book, you’ll be equipped with the skills you need to prepare data for analysis and create meaningful data visualizations for forecasting values from data.

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed image processing using OpenCV. The main focus of the chapter was on basic image processing operations and face detection. The chapter started with an introduction to types of images and image color models. In later sections, the focus was on image operations such as drawing, resizing, flipping, and blurring an image. In the last section, we discussed face detection in a given input image

The next chapter, Chapter 14, Parallel Computing Using Dask, will focus on parallel computation on basic data science Python libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn using Dask. The chapter will start with Dask data types such as dataframes, arrays, and bags. In later sections, we'll shift focus from dataFrames and arrays to delayed, preprocessing, and machine learning algorithms in parallel using Dask.
