### Edge Detection ###

Edges represent sudden changes in pixel intensity, which usually correspond to object boundaries. Detecting edges helps in shape recognition and segmentation.

**Sobel Edge Detection**

The Sobel operator calculates gradients (changes in intensity) in both the **X and Y directions**, helping detect horizontal and vertical edges.


**Canny Edge Detection**

The Canny Edge Detector is a multi-stage algorithm that **provides more accurate edges** by:
1.	Applying Gaussian blur to remove noise.
2.	Finding intensity gradients using Sobel filters.
3.	Suppressing weak edges.
4.	Using double thresholding and edge tracking.

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Computer Vision, covering both fundamental and advanced topics. You'll learn how machines process, analyze, and interpret visual data through various techniques such as image processing, feature extraction, object detection, and deep learning models.

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.
