Image processing using Python refers to utilizing Python libraries to manipulate and analyze images. Python has a rich ecosystem of libraries such as OpenCV, Pillow, and scikit-image that allow developers to perform a wide range of image processing tasks. With these libraries, developers can apply transformations like resizing, cropping, rotating, adjusting brightness/contrast, filtering, and edge detection. For example, OpenCV allows you to detect faces in an image, apply blurring effects, or perform complex operations like feature matching. Pillow, on the other hand, is a simpler library that supports basic operations like loading, saving, and modifying images. Python also supports image processing workflows for more advanced techniques such as segmentation, object recognition, and machine learning applications. In machine learning pipelines, image data is often preprocessed with image processing techniques (such as resizing or normalization) before feeding it into a model. Python's simplicity and wide library support make it one of the most popular languages for image processing tasks.
