Overview of this book

<p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">This video course is a practical guide for developers who want to get started with building computer vision applications using Python 3. The video is divided into six sections: </span></p> <ul> <li>The Fundamentals of Image Processing&nbsp;</li> <li>Applied Computer Vision</li> <li>Object detection</li> <li>Making Applications Smarter</li> <li>Extending your Capabilities using OpenCV</li> <li>Getting Hands on</li> </ul> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">Throughout this video course, three image processing libraries: Pillow, Scikit-Image, and OpenCV are used to implement different computer vision algorithms.</span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">The course will help you build Computer Vision applications that are capable of working in real-world scenarios effectively. Some of the applications that we look at in the course are Optical Character Recognition, Object Tracking and building a Computer Vision as a Service platform that works over the internet.</span></p> <h2><span class="sugar_field">Style and Approach</span></h2> <p><span class="sugar_field"><span id="trade_selling_points_c" class="sugar_field">Each stage of the course elaborates on various concepts and algorithms in image processing/computer vision using Python. This step-by-step practical guide can be used both as a tutorial and as a reference.</span></span></p>

Image Derivatives
An image derivative is defined as the change in the pixel value of an image. To calculate the derivative at any point, we can use finite difference methods to calculate the derivatives such as forward difference, backward difference, and central difference. - Use mask, kernel, and filter interchangeably - Perform operation for all pixels in the original image
