A copper-roofing shop has JPEG stills of seams ready for a vision model. What readiness step makes those stills neural-network ready?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Networks eat numbers, not folders. Decode the JPEG into a grid of channel values (a tensor) and scale it sensibly before the model ever runs.
Full Explanation
Still images enter neural networks as numeric tensors (typically height × width × channels, often normalized). Leaving an unopened file, feeding a path string, or assuming compressed bytes are model-ready skips the decode-and-tensorize step that makes vision data usable.
