2. Theoretical Concepts:
Image Formation and Representation: Images are represented as matrices of
pixel values, where each pixel corresponds to a point in the image with specific
intensity values. The process of image formation involves capturing light from the
environment and converting it into digital signals.
Image Filtering and Enhancement: Image filtering techniques such as blurring,
sharpening, and edge detection are used to enhance image quality and extract
important features.
Feature Extraction: Features are distinctive patterns or structures within an
image that are crucial for various computer vision tasks. Common features include
corners, edges, and keypoints.
Object Detection and Recognition: Object detection involves identifying and
localizing objects within an image or video stream, while recognition assigns
semantic labels to these objects.
Image Segmentation: Image segmentation partitions an image into multiple
segments to simplify its representation and facilitate further analysis.
Medical Imaging
Medical image analysis with computer vision can greatly
improve the accuracy and speed of a patient's medical
diagnosis, resulting in better treatment outcomes and life
expectancy.
Practical Implementation:
Setup and Installation: Install Python and necessary libraries such as OpenCV
using pip. Import required modules in the Python environment.
Basic Image Processing with OpenCV: Load an image using OpenCV, perform
basic operations like resizing, converting color spaces, and displaying images.
Object Detection using Haar Cascades: Implement object detection using pre-
trained Haar cascade classifiers to detect faces or other objects in images.
Feature Extraction and Matching: Extract features from images using
algorithms like SIFT or SURF, and match them across multiple images to find
correspondences.
Image Segmentation with K-Means Clustering: Segment images using the K-
Means clustering algorithm to group pixels with similar attributes together.
Output:
Code:
from skimage import data
from skimage import filters
from skimage.color import rgb2gray
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
coffee = data.coffee()
gray_coffee = rgb2gray(coffee)
plt.figure(figsize=(15, 15))
for i in range(10):
binarized_gray = (gray_coffee > i*0.1)*1
plt.subplot(5,2,i+1)
plt.title("Threshold: >"+str(round(i*0.1,1)))
plt.imshow(binarized_gray, cmap = 'gray')
plt.tight_layout()
