1.3.1 Image Representation Images are typically represented as two-dimensional arrays of pixel values. Each pixel represents a tiny area of an image and contains information about its color and intensity.
1.3.2 Image Processing
Image processing techniques are used to enhance or manipulate images for better analysis. Common operations include filtering, edge detection, and noise reduction.
1.3.3 Feature Extraction
Feature extraction involves identifying key patterns or features in an image that are relevant to the task at hand. Features can include edges, corners, textures, or shapes.
1.3.4 Machine Learning in Computer Vision
Machine learning plays a crucial role in computer vision, especially in tasks like object recognition and image classification. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a popular choice for many computer vision tasks due to their ability to automatically learn features from data.
1.3.5 Deep Learning
Deep learning, a subfield of machine learning, has revolutionized computer vision by enabling the development of highly accurate models for complex tasks. Deep neural networks can learn intricate patterns in images, leading to state-of-the-art performance in various applications.
