Split and Merge Color Channels

Explore advanced image editing by learning how to split and merge color channels in OpenCV. Understand how to isolate blue, green, and red channels to analyze color intensity and create monochrome or composite images. This lesson equips you with practical techniques for color channel manipulation using the OpenCV split and merge methods.

Let’s learn some advanced techniques to edit images in OpenCV.

Color channels are the main component of a color image. Learning to separate these color channels will help us understand different color intensities in the image and allows us to create monochrome images.

What are color channels?

A color image consists of three color channels—blue, green, and red. We merge these three ...
