Hands-On Image Processing and Computer Vision with Python

By: Sandipan Dey

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 with opencv-python

As discussed earlier, opencv-python is a powerful and widely used library for image manipulation and computer vision tasks in the Python programming language. Renowned for its simplicity and efficiency, opencv-python empowers developers to perform a diverse range of image-processing operations, from basic transformations to advanced computer vision applications. In this section, you will learn how to implement a few image manipulation tasks with the library functions.

Rotating

OpenCV provides efficient functions for performing image rotation through affine transformations. In the following python demonstration, an input image is rotated both counterclockwise and clockwise by about its center. The image is first loaded with cv2.imread() and converted from OpenCV’s default BGR color format to RGB using cv2.cvtColor() for correct visualization.

The rotation matrix is computed with cv2.getRotationMatrix2D(center, angle, scale)...
