Thank you so much for sharing this

Need this updated for visual code studio. Atom is sunset.

[@python-programming]

So sad about Atom. I really enjoyed that IDE. The code will still work, fortunately.

[@Redstonedust-rc9nr]

Thx these things or ocr stuff will save me

Can OCR handle giant images though?

[@satyamraj17]

Are the files removed from the GitHub repo? I am not able to download the image files

[@Abubakar-hu8wu]

which ide are used??

Great video but I still have one question. Why do you use Pillow (store img) if most of those capabilities are on OpenCV too
Thanks!

[@ErtugrulSert]

Because PIL is good for light tasks. Yes, both can do the same things but PIL is faster and lighter. You need to go from A to B and it is very close. Can you pick up your bicycle or truck? It is smt like this :))

Thanks for clearing confusion

Better To Use OpenCV.

[@dog_backward]

OpenCV image processing is slower than Pillow for simple images😊
