What’s Computer Vision?

❑ “At an abstract level, the goal of computer
vision problems is to use the observed image
data to infer something about the world”.
Page 83, Computer Vision: Models,
Learning, and Inference, 2012.

❑ Computer vision is a field of artificial

intelligence (AI) that enables computers to
derive meaningful information from digital
images and videos and understand the
visual world.

3. Color Spaces

ISITCOM 3DNI [Link]@[Link] 2023-2024 23

23

Color Spaces: Gray, RGB and HSV

In general, 3 color spaces are prevalent in modern
computer vision:

❑ GRAY: It eliminates color information by translating

to shades of gray: Y = 0.299xR + 0.587xG + 0.114xB.

❑ RGB: Each pixel is a three-element array, each value

representing the red, green, and blue colors.

❑ HSV: hue is a color tone, saturation is the intensity

of a color, and value represents its brightness.

Image Cropping
❑ Cropping an image to get the region of interest (ROI) can be done easily by slicing the image
array and taking the new indices values.

Image Filtering
❑ Image filtering is a fundamental concept in image
processing.

❑ Image filtering involves modifying each pixel's

value in an image based on the values of its
neighboring pixels.

❑ A filter (or kernel) is applied to an image to:

▪ Improve image quality

▪ Highlight specific details

▪ Remove noise and artifacts

▪ Detect edges and patterns

ISITCOM 3DNI [Link]@[Link] 2023-2024 33

33

Types of Image Filters

❑ Smoothing Filters (Low-Pass Filters)
▪ Examples: Gaussian, Mean, Median filters.

▪ Used for noise reduction and blurring.

❑ Sharpening Filters (High-Pass Filters)

▪ Examples: Laplacian, Sobel, Prewitt filters.

▪ Enhance edges and fine details.

Image Convolution
❑ Image convolution is a mathematical
operation that enhances, modifies, or extracts
features in an image by applying a filter or
kernel based on the values of neighboring
pixels.
