Book Description

Analyzing and understanding visual data has become essential in modern applications such as healthcare, security, remote sensing, manufacturing, and digital media. This book provides a hands-on guide to image processing and computer vision using Python, following a practical approach that bridges theory with implementation.

As you progress through the chapters, you will develop proficiency in Python 3 and implement algorithms spanning classical image processing, modern computer vision, and state-of-the-art (SOTA) deep learning and generative AI. The book covers image enhancement, restoration, filtering, segmentation, feature extraction, classification, and object detection using libraries including NumPy, OpenCV, PIL, SciPy, scikit-image, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch.

Advanced chapters introduce CNNs, Vision Transformers, transformer-based segmentation, modern detection frameworks, GANs, diffusion models, foundation models, image-to-image translation, super-resolution, and multimodal vision-language understanding. Real-world applications span medical imaging, remote sensing, banking, augmented reality, autonomous driving, industrial inspection, and intelligent visual analytics. By the end of the book, you will be equipped to design and implement real-world visual computing solutions.
