Homomorphic filtering is like playing with play-doh. When you play with play-doh, you can change its shape, make it harder or softer, but it's still play-doh. Similarly, homomorphic filtering changes the way pictures look, but it's still the same picture.
So, you can take a picture and use homomorphic filtering to make it brighter or darker, or adjust the contrast. But the cool thing is that you can also use homomorphic filtering to improve the quality of the picture. For example, you can remove the noise (like static on TV) or enhance the detail (like making the lines sharper).
Homomorphic filtering is often used in image processing and computer vision for things like image enhancement, feature detection, and object recognition. So, it's like adding magical powers to pictures so that we can see more clearly and understand them better.
