Hands-On Computer Vision with Julia

This is the code repository for Hands-On Computer Vision with Julia, published by Packt.

Build complex applications with advanced Julia packages for image processing, neural networks, and Artificial Intelligence

What is this book about?

Hands-On Computer Vision with Julia is a thorough guide for developers who want to get started with building computer vision applications using Julia. Julia is well suited to image processing because it’s easy to use and lets you write easy-to-compile and efficient machine code.

This book covers the following exciting features:

Analyze image metadata and identify critical data using JuliaImages
Apply filters and improve image quality and color schemes
Extract 2D features for image comparison using JuliaFeatures
Cluster and classify images with KNN/SVM machine learning algorithms
Recognize text in an image using the Tesseract library

Instructions and Navigations

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.

The code will look like the following:

using Images
sample_image_path = "sample-images/cats-3061372_640.jpg";
sample_image = nothing
if isfile(sample_image_path)
 sample_image = load(sample_image_path);
else
 info("ERROR: Image not found!")
end

Following is what you need for this book: Hands-On Computer Vision with Julia is for Julia developers who are interested in learning how to perform image processing and want to explore the field of computer vision. Basic knowledge of Julia will help you understand the concepts more effectively.
