Blurring and Grayscaling and Image
Explore how to convert color images to grayscale and apply Gaussian blur using OpenCV. This lesson helps you understand essential image processing techniques that simplify analysis and support tasks like edge detection in scientific and engineering projects.

Two important functions in image processing are blurring and grayscaling. Many image processing operations take place on grayscale (black and white) images, as they are simpler to process.
Similarly, blurring is also useful for edge detection, as we’ll see in later examples.
Converting an image to grayscale
The first argument is the image as shown in line 8 ...
