## Introduction

This chapter demonstrates how to extract features and descriptors from an image using computer vision techniques. We'll use OpenCV (a popular computer vision library) and NumPy (for numerical operations) to:

1. **Load and process images** - Read image files
2. **Extract features** - Extract features from the image
3. **Extract descriptors** - Extract descriptors from the image
4. **Visualize results** - Display the results
