Summary  
This chapter demonstrates how to load and display image data and apply fundamental geometric transformations—resizing (by scale factors or explicit dimensions), rotating (using affine matrices), and cropping (via array slicing).  

General domain of usage  
Computer vision

## Reading and Displaying an Image
Before performing transformations, let's first load and display an image using OpenCV. We have already imported the photo. But in your local computer for simple reading and displaying the photo you should use:

## Resizing an Image

Resizing is useful for scaling images up or down while maintaining aspect **ratio** (`fx` and `fy` parameters),
where `fx` and `fy` define the scaling factor for width and height.

You can also specify **exact pixel dimensions** (`dsize` parameter),
where `dsize` is `(new_y, new_x)` output shape.

## Rotating an Image
To rotate an image by a specific angle, we use `cv2.getRotationMatrix2D()` and `cv2.warpAffine()`.

- `cv2.getRotationMatrix2D(center, angle, scale)` defines the rotation matrix;
- `cv2.warpAffine(image, matrix, output_size)` applies the transformation.


## Cropping an Image
Cropping extracts a specific region from an image. It's done using NumPy slicing.
The syntax `image[start_y:end_y, start_x:end_x]` selects a region of interest.

Comprehensive introduction to Computer Vision, focusing on machine perception and interpretation of visual data. Covers image preprocessing, feature extraction, object detection, and deep learning techniques used in modern vision systems.

Computer vision enables machines to interpret and analyze visual data, mimicking human perception. This section covers the basics of image representation, color models, and mathematical foundations essential for understanding how computers process images. You'll explore real-world applications, from autonomous vehicles to medical imaging, and learn how Computer vision integrates with AI and machine learning. 

OpenCV is a powerful library for image manipulation and computer vision tasks. This section covers essential techniques like image filtering, transformations, edge detection, and segmentation. You'll learn how to perform blurring, thresholding, contour detection, and feature extraction to enhance and analyze images efficiently.

CNNs process visual data using convolution, pooling, and activation layers to extract features for tasks like image classification and object detection. Key components include padding, convolution for feature extraction, pooling for complexity reduction, and activation for non-linearity. Popular architectures like AlexNet, VGG, and ResNet power AI in healthcare, autonomy, and security.

Object detection is a fundamental task in computer vision that involves identifying and localizing objects within an image. Unlike image classification, which assigns a single label to an entire image, object detection not only classifies objects but also determines their positions using bounding boxes. This section covers key techniques and algorithms used in object detection, ranging from traditional methods to deep learning-based approaches like YOLO and U-Net.

Computer vision has significantly advanced over the years, shifting from basic image processing methods to complex deep learning techniques. This section delves into the latest innovations in computer vision, focusing on transfer learning, facial recognition, and image generation. We will explore the benefits of pre-trained models on performance, the principles of facial recognition technology, and the way AI creates images through deep learning.
