Data Science Prerequisites - Numpy, Matplotlib, and Pandas in Python - Plotting Images

The video tutorial covers the basics of handling image data sets in machine learning, focusing on downloading images using wget, loading them with the Pillow library, and converting them into numpy arrays. It explains the structure of image data, including dimensions and color channels, and demonstrates how to plot images using Matplotlib, both in color and grayscale. The tutorial also touches on the concept of heat maps and how to adjust color mappings in plots.

What does the third dimension of a 3D image array represent?

How can you convert a color image into a grayscale image according to the lecture?

What is the significance of the cmap argument when plotting a grayscale image?
