However, special care needs to be taken to ensure that the aspect ratio is maintained. This `resize` function of `imutils` maintains the aspect ratio and provides the keyword arguments `width` and `height` so the image can be resized to the intended width/height while (1) maintaining aspect ratio and (2) ensuring the dimensions of the image do not have to be explicitly computed by the developer. @@ -77,7 +77,7 @@ for width in (400, 300, 200, 100): #### Output: -Resizing example +Resizing example ## Skeletonization Skeletonization is the process of constructing the "topological skeleton" of an object in an image, where the object is presumed to be white on a black background.

If you want your OpenCV 3 code to be backwards compatible with OpenCV 2.4.X, you'll need to take special care to check which version of OpenCV is currently being used and then take appropriate action.
