Image processing is incorporated into our everyday lives, and we take it for granted. Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and Facebook are a few of the many platforms that normalized the use of image and video processing, and they’re so simple to use that a 4-year-old can utilize them. In this bootcamp, you will learn the basic principles of image and video processing algorithms. You will also learn how to utilize the simplified programming language Processing, which is optimal for visual arts. The bootcamp will also equip you with the knowledge you need to creatively build on and design your own effects.
