OpenCV is a library primarily built for computer vision. You do not need to be a pro in image processing to build a few simple image filters like Instagram’s sepia effect, Emboss effect, etc. We will be going over the following.

• How is an Image stored?
• Convolution and how Filters work
• Reading and Displaying Images
• Reading VideoCaptures and using your WebCam
• Some Filters and Image manipulation

How is an Image Stored?

Each image is made of pixels. The number of pixels in an image is determined by the width and height of the image. The above image is 3776 x 2832, and therefore it has 3776 x 2832 pixels in total. For black and white images, the image will have only one channel, but for a colored image, like the one above, there will be three channels, namely Red, Blue, and Green.
