Explore how to separate and combine the blue, green, and red color channels of an image using OpenCV in Python. Understand color intensity representation within each channel and apply cv2.split and cv2.merge functions to create and manipulate mono-colored and color images effectively.

We covered some basic ideas about editing images. Next, we’ll learn some advanced techniques to edit images in OpenCV. The major points we’ll cover are mentioned in the illustration below.

Color channels are the main component of a color image. Therefore, we need to learn how to separate those color channels. This helps us understand different color intensities in the image and allows us to create mono-colored ...
