imwrite()

Explain Code

Import the OpenCV library import cv2.

The imread function reads an image. Since I need a grayscale image, I set the flag value as cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE.

Resize the image using the resize() function.

The imwrite function is used to save an image. It takes two arguments:

1. Image path – Set the image path and name.
2. Image – The image as a NumPy array.
