Why Image Preprocessing Matters
🎯 The Foundation of Computer Vision
Image preprocessing is the critical first step in any computer vision pipeline. Raw images need to be standardized, cleaned, and augmented before feeding them to neural networks. Proper preprocessing can dramatically improve model performance.
💡
Key Insight
A well-designed preprocessing pipeline can improve accuracy by 10-20% and significantly reduce training time by ensuring consistent input data.
❌ Without Preprocessing
- •Inconsistent image sizes
- •Varying pixel value ranges
- •Poor model convergence
- •Overfitting on training data
✅ With Preprocessing
- •Uniform input dimensions
- •Normalized pixel values
- •Faster training convergence
- •Better generalization
