Classical Image Processing vs Convolutional Neural Networks
Developers should learn classical image processing for tasks where interpretability, low computational cost, or limited data availability are priorities, such as in medical imaging, industrial inspection, or embedded systems meets developers should learn cnns when working on computer vision applications, such as image classification, facial recognition, or autonomous driving systems, as they excel at capturing spatial patterns. Here's our take.
Classical Image Processing
Developers should learn classical image processing for tasks where interpretability, low computational cost, or limited data availability are priorities, such as in medical imaging, industrial inspection, or embedded systems
Classical Image Processing
Nice PickDevelopers should learn classical image processing for tasks where interpretability, low computational cost, or limited data availability are priorities, such as in medical imaging, industrial inspection, or embedded systems
Pros
- +It provides a foundational understanding of image manipulation that complements modern deep learning approaches, and is essential for preprocessing steps in computer vision pipelines
- +Related to: computer-vision, opencv
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Convolutional Neural Networks
Developers should learn CNNs when working on computer vision applications, such as image classification, facial recognition, or autonomous driving systems, as they excel at capturing spatial patterns
Pros
- +They are also useful in natural language processing for text classification and in medical imaging for disease detection, due to their ability to handle high-dimensional data efficiently
- +Related to: deep-learning, computer-vision
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Classical Image Processing if: You want it provides a foundational understanding of image manipulation that complements modern deep learning approaches, and is essential for preprocessing steps in computer vision pipelines and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Convolutional Neural Networks if: You prioritize they are also useful in natural language processing for text classification and in medical imaging for disease detection, due to their ability to handle high-dimensional data efficiently over what Classical Image Processing offers.
