Python programming language employs NumPy arrays in order to achieve image processing and computer vision tasks in the applications of artificial intelligence. The gamut of computer vision tasks can be executed efficiently with Python's scikit image processing libraries that work in tandem with NumPy arrays to produce high-quality filtered images. In fact, a Python imaging library can be used to accomplish complex tasks such as feature extraction, face recognition, and image manipulation. In addition, the scikit learn library in Python provides deep learning modules to employ in business operations (for example, for consumer satisfaction analysis).

Check out these libraries for Python computer vision to create a state-of-the-art code to deploy in data science fields. The face_recognition library touts to be the simplest API in the world for Python and command-line. If you are aiming to achieve image-to-image translation, check out the pytorch-CycleGAN-and-pix2pix library. One of the highest utility libraries in the list is perhaps the EasyOCR - a code pack for optical character recognition in over 80 languages. If machine learning is your objective, the NumPy_ML library carries pre-coded modules to insert into your code.
