This chapter introduces the building blocks of an image and describes various methods to manipulate them. Our learning objectives in this chapter are as follows:

• To understand the smallest unit of an image (a pixel) and how colors are represented

• To learn how pixels are organized in an image and how to access and manipulate them

• To write code in Python and use OpenCV to work with examples to access and manipulate images

• To draw different shapes, ...
