Introduction to Computer Vision

Image Processing and Pre-processing

Image processing prepares images for analysis by modifying them through resizing, pixel normalization, contrast enhancement, noise filtering, alignment, color space conversion (RGB, HSV, grayscale), and augmentation to increase dataset size. High-quality processing significantly improves model results.

Deep Learning in Computer Vision

Deep learning has revolutionized computer vision through convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which effectively extract features from images. Popular architectures include: ResNet, EfficientNet, and Vision Transformers (ViT). Transfer learning with pre-trained models enables efficient training on small datasets.
