In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Manipulating the exposure of an image
  • Applying filters on an image
  • Segmenting an image
  • Finding points of interest in an image
  • Detecting faces in an image with OpenCV
  • Applying digital filters to speech sounds
  • Creating a sound synthesizer in the Notebook

Introduction

In the previous chapter, we covered signal processing techniques for one-dimensional, time-dependent signals. In this chapter, we will see signal processing techniques for images and sounds.

Generic signal processing techniques can be applied to images and sounds, but many image or audio processing tasks require specialized algorithms. For example, we will see algorithms for segmenting images, detecting ...
