What you will learn from this book

  • Create advanced computer vision applications using sound object-oriented programming practices
  • Iterate over an image to process each of its pixels
  • Filter images by modifying their frequency content
  • Reconstruct selected image elements in 3D

In Detail

In today's digital world, images are everywhere, and with the advent of powerful and affordable computing devices, it has become possible to create sophisticated applications by manipulating images and videos. Adding special effects, enhancing image features, performing object recognition, and reconstructing 3D information are tasks that can be programmed easily with the OpenCV library, which is a widely used open source library that offers a rich set of advanced computer vision algorithms.

"OpenCV 2 Computer Vision Application Programming Cookbook" is your guide to the development of computer vision applications with OpenCV. It is a comprehensive reference that exposes you to computer vision concepts illustrated with extensive examples.

The book helps you to get started with the library, showing you how to install and deploy the OpenCV library to write effective computer vision applications following good programming practices. The techniques to process an image and its pixels using the data structures offered by the library are explained in detail. You will learn how to build and manipulate an image histogram; how to detect lines and contours. You will be introduced to the concept of mathematical morphology and image filtering. The detection and use of interest points in computer vision is presented with applications for image matching and object recognition. We will also cover techniques to achieve camera calibration and 3D reconstruction.

RAW FAQ

This book is currently available as a RAW (Read As we Write) book. A RAW book is an ebook, and this one is priced at 20% off the usual eBook price. Once you purchase the RAW book, you can immediately download the content of the book so far, and when new chapters become available, you will be notified, and  can download the new version of the book. When the book is published, you will receive the full, finished eBook.

If you like, you can preorder the print book at the same time as you purchase the RAW book at a significant discount.

Since a RAW book is an eBook, a RAW book is non returnable and non refundable.

Local taxes may apply to your eBook purchase.

Approach
