np.expand_dims(x, axis=0) is a NumPy function used to add a new dimension to a given NumPy array x at the specified axis (in this case, axis 0).
For example, if x is a NumPy array of shape (3, 4) which represents a 3x4 matrix, calling np.expand_dims(x, axis=0) will add a new dimension to x at axis 0, resulting in a new NumPy array of shape (1, 3, 4) which represents a 1x3x4 matrix.
This can be useful when working with neural networks, as many deep learning frameworks expect inputs to be in the form of batches. Adding a new dimension to a single input array using np.expand_dims can allow it to be passed through a neural network that expects inputs in batch form, such as resnet50 in TensorFlow.
