Image data processing with python

Description

Overview

This course teaches you how images are created and processed in the digital space. Important underlying theoretical aspects are shown, which are also known from university. Those usually fall short when trying to get a practical grasp of it. Therefor in this course we will focus on a hands on understanding by using the scripting language python to show how the processing can be realized programatically.

At the end of the course you will understand the core concepts of how image processing is applied in widely used apps and you will have programmed some of them yourselves. You will also gain a foundational understanding of why images are structured the way they are and what role the color plays in the representation.

What you will learn

• python basics important for image processing

• color and color models

• creating, filtering and mapping images

• compression basics of images

  
  

Who this course is for

This course is for everyone who wants to have a practical approach on image data processing. It should be very helpful for students studying IT, media technology, fotography or similar topics.

About the programming

This course uses python as programming language. It is helpful if you know python or other languages of course, but not necessary, since the core concepts are explained along the way. Keep in mind though, that we focus on the basics of python we need for the image processing, so the course will only cover so much. There are many other courses out there for a more complete understanding of python.
