Look inside

A picture says a thousand words, but make sure they’re the right ones. Today’s cell phones come with amazing digital cameras, but without a guarantee that you’ll never take another bad picture. Learn to use image processing algorithms, geometry, point operations, and filters to transform images by adjusting brightness, contrast, color, size, and shape. You’ll also create interesting effects such as highlighting edges, embossing, and blurring.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book and video resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books and videos for 90 days.
