Numpy is a optimized library for fast array calculations. So simply accessing each and every pixel

Sometimes, you will have to play with certain region of images. For eye detection in images, first
face detection is done all over the image and when face is obtained, we select the face region alone
and search for eyes inside it instead of searching whole image. It improves accuracy (because eyes
are always on faces :D ) and performance (because we search for a small area)

Splitting and Merging Image Channels

Suppose, you want to make all the red pixels to zero, you need not split like this and put it equal

cv2.split() is a costly operation (in terms of time). So do it only if you need it. Otherwise go
