Fundamentals of Image thresholding and masking

Course Description

Learn to process images by learning fundamentals of image thresholding using opencv and popular programming language Python.

Build a strong foundation in Image Processing with this tutorial for beginners.

• Understanding of how images are processed as array of RGB pixel intensities

• Learn basics of thresholding

• Leverage OpenCV and Python to perform thresholding to create effects like sketch and extract foreground and background objects

• User Jupyter Notebook for programming

• Use step by step instructions along with plenty of examples

A Powerful Skill at Your Fingertips  Learning the fundamentals of image thresholding puts a powerful and very useful tool at your fingertips. Python, opencv and Jupyter are free, easy to learn, has excellent documentation.

Image thresholding is ubiquitous in everyday applications such as edge detection, advertisement image quality improvements. Its also pre-requisite for computer vision applications using machine learning.

Jobs in image processing area are plentiful, and being able to learn opencv and python will give you a strong edge.

Image thresholding tasks are becoming very popular. Amazon, Walmart, Google eCommerce websites are few famous example of image thresholding in action. Convolutional neural network (CNN) uses these techniques to find foreground and background objects.

Image processing tasks are vital in information retrieval and computer vision applications . 

Big advertising companies and Hollywood studios already using image thresholding in improving image quality.
