Summary

In this chapter, we discussed a few advanced image processing problems. We started with the seam carving algorithm and demonstrated a couple of applications of the algorithm in context-aware image resizing and object or artifact removal from images with the scikit-image library.

Next, we discussed seamless cloning with an application to copy one object from one image to another using Python and OpenCV. Then we discussed the biharmonic inpainting algorithm and applied it to restore damaged pixels in an image using the scikit-image library. After that, we discussed variational methods in image processing with an application in image denoising with scikit-image again. Next, we discussed the image quilting algorithm and its application in texture synthesis and transfer of images. Finally, we ended this chapter with a discussion on an advanced face morphing algorithm. By the end of this chapter, the reader should be able to write Python codes for all these tasks.
