Image processing and computer vision are distinct yet related fields. Image processing involves operations that transform or enhance images, such as resizing, rotating, and converting formats. It focuses on manipulating the visual data to improve its quality or extract information. In contrast, computer vision is concerned with understanding and interpreting images, which includes identifying and classifying objects, such as faces. While image processing serves as a foundational tool for computer vision, the latter goes beyond mere manipulation to derive meaning from visual data.
