Making your applications
see has never been easier with OpenCV. With it, you can teach your robot
how to follow your cat, write a program to correctly identify the
members of One Direction, or even help you find the right colors for
your redecoration. OpenCV 3 Computer Vision Application Programming
Solutions provides a complete introduction to the OpenCV library and
explains how to build your first computer vision program. You will be
presented with a variety of computer vision algorithms, and exposed to
important concepts in image and video analysis, which will enable you to
build your own computer vision applications.
This video helps you to
get started with the OpenCV library, and shows you how to install and
deploy it to write effective computer vision applications following good
programming practices. You will learn how to read and write images and
manipulate their pixels. Different techniques for image enhancement and
shape analysis will be presented. You will learn how to detect specific
image features such as lines, circles, or corners. You will be
introduced to the concepts of mathematical morphology and image
filtering.
