Image Manipulation using OpenCV

Keywords:

Python Library - A Python library is a collection of pre-written Python functions meant for use towards specific applications. In the case of the OpenCV library, the pre-written functions allow programmers to alter images through the use of multiple different techniques. One of the main benefits of using Python libraries is that they help to greatly simplify the complexity of code, whilst still allowing for the same result in the output of the code. 

Image Manipulation - Image manipulation generally refers to altering the appearance of an image. Image manipulation can include adding, removing, or altering elements of images to achieve a desired effect or outcome. Some examples of image manipulation are filtering an image, scaling an image to be larger or smaller, and cropping an image.

Color System(s) - A color system is considered the way that a set of colors are created, understood, and stored. Most color systems are organized based on a set of primary colors, with the most common being red, green, and blue. The RGB color system and BGR color systems are examples of this. The main difference between the RGB and BGR color systems is how they are combined. In the RGB color system, the colors are combined in the order of red, green, and then blue. In the BGR color system, the colors are combined in the order of blue, green, and then red.
