Data Science projects for beginners in Python
1. Pedestrian Detection using HOGs
In this project, we will perform pedestrian detection using HOG short for Histogram for Gradients. HOGs are great feature detectors and can also be used for object detection with SVM but due to many other State of the Art object detection algorithms like YOLO, SSD, present out there, we don’t use HOGs much for object detection.

Image inpainting is the process of removing damage, such as noises, strokes, or text, on images. It is particularly useful in the restoration of old photographs which might have scratched edges or ink spots on them. These can be digitally removed through this method.
32. How to generate a negative image in Python using OpenCV
So, in this blog of this OpenCV series, we are going to generate a negative image. Talking about negatives, it’s a very nostalgic feeling because nowadays we are not used to seeing negatives but about 10-15 years earlier, first of all, negatives were generated and then the original images.

So, in this blog, we will see how we can perform morphological operations like erosion, dilation, and gradient upon an image to enhance it.
Morphological transformations are some simple operations based on the image shape. It is normally performed on binary images. It needs two inputs, one is our original image, the second one is called structuring element or kernel which decides the nature of the operation. Two basic morphological operators are Erosion and Dilation. Then its variant forms like Opening, Closing, Gradient, etc also come into play.
