Flipping out

As a prank, someone has turned an image from a photo album of a trip to Seville upside-down and back-to-front! Now, we need to straighten the image, by flipping it.

City of Seville upside-down

Image loaded as flipped_seville. Using the NumPy methods learned in the course, flip the image horizontally and vertically. Then display the corrected image using the show_image() function.

NumPy is already imported as np.

Jump into digital image structures and learn to process them! Extract data, transform and analyze images using NumPy and Scikit-image. With just a few lines of code, you will convert RGB images to grayscale, get data from them, obtain histograms containing very useful information, and separate objects from the background!

Exercise 1: Make images come alive with scikit-image Exercise 2: Is this gray or full of color?Exercise 3: RGB to grayscale Exercise 4: NumPy for images Exercise 5: Flipping out

Current Exercise

Exercise 6: Histograms Exercise 7: Getting started with thresholding Exercise 8: Apply global thresholding Exercise 9: When the background isn't that obvious Exercise 10: Trying other methods Exercise 11: Apply thresholding

You will learn to <strong>detect object shapes</strong> using edge detection filters, <strong>improve medical images</strong> with contrast enhancement <strong>and even enlarge pictures to five times its original size! </strong> You will also apply morphology to make thresholding more accurate when segmenting images and go to the next level of processing images with Python.

Exercise 1: Jump into filtering Exercise 2: Edge detection Exercise 3: Blurring to reduce noise Exercise 4: Contrast enhancement Exercise 5: What's the contrast of this image?Exercise 6: Medical images Exercise 7: Aerial image Exercise 8: Let's add some impact and contrast Exercise 9: Transformations Exercise 10: Aliasing, rotating and rescaling Exercise 11: Enlarging images Exercise 12: Proportionally resizing Exercise 13: Morphology Exercise 14: Handwritten letters Exercise 15: Improving thresholded image

So far, you have done some very cool things with your image processing skills! In this chapter, you will apply <strong>image restoration to remove objects, logos, text, or damaged areas</strong> in pictures! You will also learn how to apply noise, use segmentation to speed up processing, and find elements in images by their contours.

Exercise 1: Image restoration Exercise 2: Let's restore a damaged image Exercise 3: Removing logos Exercise 4: Noise Exercise 5: Let's make some noise!Exercise 6: Reducing noise Exercise 7: Reducing noise while preserving edges Exercise 8: Superpixels & segmentation Exercise 9: Number of pixels Exercise 10: Superpixel segmentation Exercise 11: Finding contours Exercise 12: Contouring shapes Exercise 13: Find contours of an image that is not binary Exercise 14: Count the dots in a dice's image

After completing this chapter, you will have a deeper knowledge of image processing as you will be able to <strong>detect edges, corners, and even faces! </strong> You will learn how to detect not just front faces but also face profiles, cat, or dogs. You will apply your skills to more complex <strong>real-world applications.</strong> Learn to master several widely used image processing techniques with very few lines of code!

Exercise 1: Finding the edges with Canny Exercise 2: Edges Exercise 3: Less edgy Exercise 4: Right around the corner Exercise 5: Perspective Exercise 6: Less corners Exercise 7: Face detection Exercise 8: Is someone there?Exercise 9: Multiple faces Exercise 10: Segmentation and face detection Exercise 11: Real-world applications Exercise 12: Privacy protection Exercise 13: Help Sally restore her graduation photo Exercise 14: Amazing work!
