This course teaches you how images are created and processed in the digital space. Important underlying theoretical aspects are shown, which are also known from university. Those usually fall short when trying to get a practical grasp of it. Therefor in this course we will focus on a hands on understanding by using the scripting language python to show how the processing can be realized programatically.

At the end of the course you will understand the core concepts of how image processing is applied in widely used apps and you will have programmed some of them yourselves. You will also gain a foundational understanding of why images are structured the way they are and what role the color plays in the representation.
