In this chapter, we are going to see how to apply cool visual effects to images. We will learn how to use fundamental image processing operators, discuss edge detection, and see how we can use image filters to apply various effects to photos.

By the end of this chapter, you will know:

  • What 2D convolution is, and how to use it
  • How to blur an image
  • How to detect edges in an image
  • How to apply motion blur to an image
  • How to sharpen and emboss an image
  • How to erode and dilate an image
