Computer Vision
Computer Vision is the process by which cameras capture images of the surrounding world, and methods for how computers interpret them. During this calss we made use of the CV2 librabry in python to identify key features in an image, and alter the original image to make it easier for interpretation.
Below is an example of altering images for computer use:
The code above reads an image saved within the same folder as the coding block. The original image was too large to easily work with, so the size was reduced while details in the image are preserved. The then the image is converted to gray and the Canny edge detector is run on the image.This is usefule for future detection and image processing. Computers can use the edges shown in the image to identify objects and find notable features within the original image.
