Overview of this book

Image processing plays an important role in our daily lives with various applications such as in social media (face detection), medical imaging (X-ray, CT-scan), security (fingerprint recognition) to robotics & space. This book will touch the core of image processing, from concepts to code using Python. The book will start from the classical image processing techniques and explore the evolution of image processing algorithms up to the recent advances in image processing or computer vision with deep learning. We will learn how to use image processing libraries such as PIL, scikit-mage, and scipy ndimage in Python. This book will enable us to write code snippets in Python 3 and quickly implement complex image processing algorithms such as image enhancement, filtering, segmentation, object detection, and classification. We will be able to use machine learning models using the scikit-learn library and later explore deep CNN, such as VGG-19 with Keras, and we will also use an end-to-end deep learning model called YOLO for object detection. We will also cover a few advanced problems, such as image inpainting, gradient blending, variational denoising, seam carving, quilting, and morphing. By the end of this book, we will have learned to implement various algorithms for efficient image processing.

Image quilting


The image quilting algorithm is an algorithm used for texture synthesis and transfer in images, described in the SIGGRAPH 2001 paper by Efros and Freeman. In this section, we shall touch upon the main idea behind the quilting algorithms for implementing texture synthesis and transfer, and show a couple of results obtained with an implementation of the algorithm. The code is left for the reader to implement (refer to https://sandipanweb.wordpress.com/2017/10/24/some-computational-photography-image-quilting-texture-synthesis-with-dynamic-programming-and-texture-transfer-in-python/ for more information).

Texture synthesis

Texture synthesis refers to the creation of a larger texture image from a small sample. For texture synthesis, the main idea is to sample patches and lay them down in overlapping patterns, such that the overlapping regions are similar. The overlapping regions may not match exactly, which will result in noticeable artifacts around the edges. To fix this, we need...
