Python is a popular programming language for image processing due to its simplicity, ease of use, and availability of powerful libraries such as OpenCV and Pillow. Here is an overview of how to get started with image processing using Python: Installing Python and necessary libraries, Install OpenCV, Install Pillow, Loading and displaying an image, Import the necessary libraries, import Image, Load an image, Image manipulation, Convert an image to grayscale, Resizing an image, Image filtering and processing, Applying a Gaussian blur, Applying a threshold, Detecting edges, Saving an image. This is just a brief overview of image processing using Python. There are many other operations and techniques that can be applied to images using Python, and the libraries mentioned above offer a wide range of functionalities to explore.
