Overview of this book

Analyzing and understanding visual data has become essential in modern applications such as healthcare, security, remote sensing, manufacturing, and digital media. This book provides a hands-on guide to image processing and computer vision using Python, following a practical approach that bridges theory with implementation. As you progress through the chapters, you will develop proficiency in Python 3 and implement algorithms spanning classical image processing, modern computer vision, and state-of-the-art (SOTA) deep learning and generative AI. The book covers image enhancement, restoration, filtering, segmentation, feature extraction, classification, and object detection using libraries including NumPy, OpenCV, PIL, SciPy, scikit-image, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch. Advanced chapters introduce CNNs, Vision Transformers, transformer-based segmentation, modern detection frameworks, GANs, diffusion models, foundation models, image-to-image translation, super-resolution, and multimodal vision-language understanding. Real-world applications span medical imaging, remote sensing, banking, augmented reality, autonomous driving, industrial inspection, and intelligent visual analytics. By the end of the book, you will be equipped to design and implement real-world visual computing solutions. *Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

Image Manipulation

As we discussed in the last chapter, image manipulation is a fundamental topic of image processing and computer vision, enabling a wide range of applications from artistic effects to scientific analysis. In this chapter, we shall continue to explore popular Python libraries such as NumPy, Pillow (and PIL), and scikit-image and demonstrate how they can be leveraged to implement various interesting image manipulation methods. These libraries provide an extensive set of toolkits for modifying, enhancing, and transforming images with ease.

We will explore NumPy-based techniques such as color pop effects and fish-eye distortion correction, followed by scikit-image operations such as inverting images, adjusting brightness and contrast, inverse warping, and adding Gaussian noise. Using PIL, we will cover cropping, resizing, pixelating, point transformations, geometric transformations, and drawing on images. Additionally, we will examine blending with alpha channels...
