A Powerful Skill at Your Fingertips  Learning the fundamentals of image thresholding puts a powerful and very useful tool at your fingertips. Python, opencv and Jupyter are free, easy to learn, has excellent documentation.

Image thresholding is ubiquitous in everyday applications such as edge detection, advertisement image quality improvements. Its also pre–requisite for computer vision applications using machine learning.

Jobs in image processing area are plentiful, and being able to learn opencv and python will give you a strong edge.

Image thresholding tasks are becoming very popular. Amazon, Walmart, Google eCommerce websites are few famous example of image thresholding in action. Convolutional neural network (CNN) uses these techniques to find foreground and background objects.

Image processing tasks are vital in information retrieval and computer vision applications .
