# PIL/Pillow Basics - The essential image library
from PIL import Image

# Open and display image
img = Image.open("input.jpg")
img.show()

# Convert formats
img.save("output.png")
img.convert("L").save("grayscale.jpg")  # RGB to grayscale

# Basic transformations
img.rotate(90).save("rotated.jpg")
img.resize((300, 300)).save("resized.jpg")
img.transpose(Image.FLIP_LEFT_RIGHT).save("mirrored.jpg")

💡 Building a Simple Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)

Constructing a basic Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a fundamental step in deep learning for image processing. Using TensorFlow's Keras API, we can define a network with convolutional, pooling, and dense layers to classify images. This example sets up a simple CNN to recognize handwritten digits from the MNIST dataset.

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras import layers, models
from tensorflow.keras.datasets import mnist
import numpy as np

# 1. Load and preprocess the MNIST dataset
(train_images, train_labels), (test_images, test_labels) = mnist.load_data()

# Reshape images for CNN: (batch_size, height, width, channels)
# MNIST images are 28x28 grayscale, so channels = 1
train_images = train_images.reshape((60000, 28, 28, 1)).astype('float32') / 255
test_images = test_images.reshape((10000, 28, 28, 1)).astype('float32') / 255

# 2. Define the CNN architecture
model = models.Sequential()

# First Convolutional Block
model.add(layers.Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu', input_shape=(28, 28, 1)))
model.add(layers.MaxPooling2D((2, 2)))

# Second Convolutional Block
model.add(layers.Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu'))
model.add(layers.MaxPooling2D((2, 2)))

# Flatten the 3D output to 1D for the Dense layers
model.add(layers.Flatten())

# Dense (fully connected) layers
model.add(layers.Dense(64, activation='relu'))
model.add(layers.Dense(10, activation='softmax')) # Output layer for 10 classes (digits 0-9)

# 3. Compile the model
model.compile(optimizer='adam',
              loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
              metrics=['accuracy'])

# Print a summary of the model layers
model.summary()

# 4. Train the model (uncomment to run training)
# print("\nTraining the model...")
# model.fit(train_images, train_labels, epochs=5, batch_size=64, validation_split=0.1)

# 5. Evaluate the model (uncomment to run evaluation)
# print("\nEvaluating the model...")
# test_loss, test_acc = model.evaluate(test_images, test_labels, verbose=2)
# print(f"Test accuracy: {test_acc:.4f}")

Code explanation: This script defines a simple CNN using Keras. It loads and normalizes MNIST images. The Sequential model adds Conv2D layers for feature extraction, MaxPooling2D for downsampling, a Flatten layer to transition to 1D, and Dense layers for classification. The model is then compiled with an optimizer, loss function, and metrics, and a summary of its architecture is printed. Training and evaluation steps are included as commented-out examples.
