Digital Image Processing using OpenCV (Python & C++) Highlights: In this post, we will learn how to apply and use an Averaging and a Gaussian filter. We will also explain the main differences between these filters and how they affect the output image. What does make a good filter? This is a million dollar question. Tutorial Overview: Averaging filter Gaussian filter 1. Averaging filter What does make a good filter? So, let’s start with a…

Digital Image Processing using OpenCV (Python & C++) Highlight: In this blog post, we will explain how to scale the pixel’s intensity and make the image brighter and/or darker. We will show how to add logos onto a given image. This is known as a watermark, and we will also show how to add it in a transparent mode. Finally, we show-off with some cool effects for beginners, such as fading in and out using…

Highlights: In this post we will continue an exploration of the projection modeling. The basic modeling equations will be written in the matrix form. New concepts, such as vanishing points and parallel lines in images will be explained. Tutorial Overview: Perspective imaging – matrix equations How do parallel lines in 3D world behave in the image? What is a vanishing point? 1. Perspective imaging – matrix equations Let’s start with the perspective projection model equations.…
