Image processing holds immense potential for societal benefit, yet its full
potential is often accessible only to tech-savvy experts. Bridging this
knowledge gap and providing accessible tools for users of all backgrounds
remains an unexplored frontier. This paper introduces "ImageLab," a novel tool
designed to democratize image processing, catering to both novices and experts
by prioritizing interactive learning over theoretical complexity. ImageLab not
only serves as a valuable educational resource but also offers a practical
testing environment for seasoned practitioners. Through a comprehensive
evaluation of ImageLab's features, we demonstrate its effectiveness through a
user study done for a focused group of school children and university students
which enables us to get positive feedback on the tool. Our work represents a
significant stride toward enhancing image processing education and practice,
making it more inclusive and approachable for all.
