This is the code repository for OpenCV 3 - Transforming and Filtering Images [Video], published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the video course from start to finish.
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 find the right colors for your redecoration.
This course 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 the image and video analysis that will enable you to build your own computer vision applications. This video helps you to get started with the library and shows you how to install and deploy the OpenCV library to write effective computer vision applications following good programming practices.
Moving on, you will learn how to read and write images and manipulate their pixels. We’ll present different techniques for image enhancement and shape analysis. You will learn how to detect specific image features such as lines, circles, or corners. Then, you’ll be introduced to the concepts of mathematical morphology and image filtering. We describe the most recent methods for image matching and object recognition, and you’ll discover how to process video from files or cameras, as well as how to detect and track moving objects. Next, we explain techniques to achieve camera calibration and perform a multiple-view analysis. Finally, you’ll also get acquainted with recent approaches in machine learning and object classification.
- Process an image by manipulating its pixels
- Segment images into homogenous regions and extract meaningful objects
- Apply image filters to enhance image content
- Exploit the image geometry in order to relay different views of a pictured scene
