How can I get started with OpenCV in Python?

To get started with OpenCV in Python, first install the library using pip: pip install opencv-python. Then, you can begin by importing it in your Python script.

What are some basic functions I should know?

Some basic functions include cv2.imread() for reading images, cv2.imshow() for displaying images, and cv2.imwrite() for saving images.

Can you show me a simple example of image processing?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import cv2

# Load an image
image = cv2.imread('image.jpg')

# Convert to grayscale
gray_image = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# Display the image
cv2.imshow('Gray Image', gray_image)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
