A step-by-step guide to applying a perspective transformation on images

Computer vision is all abuzz now. People everywhere are working on some form of deep-learning-based computer vision projects. But before the advent of Deep Learning, image processing techniques were employed to manipulate and transform images in order to obtain insights that would help us achieve the task at hand. Today, let’s see how we can implement a simple yet helpful technique known as Perspective Projection to warp an image.
But wait! What does warping an image mean? I could explain it with a lot of fancy words and technical jargon. But then, it will be easy to just show the end… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
