OpenCV with Python By Example

Key Features

• Learn how to apply complex visual effects to images using geometric transformations and image filters
• Extract features from an image and use them to develop advanced applications
• Build algorithms to understand the image content and recognize objects in an image

Book Description

What you will learn

• Apply geometric transformations to images, perform image filtering, and convert an image into a cartoon-like image
• Detect and track various body parts such as the face, nose, eyes, ears, and mouth
• Stitch multiple images of a scene together to create a panoramic image
• Make an object disappear from an image
• Identify different shapes, segment an image, and track an object in a live video
• Recognize objects in an image and understand the content
• Reconstruct a 3D map from images
• Build an augmented reality application

Who this book is for

This book is intended for Python developers who are new to OpenCV and want to develop computer vision applications with OpenCV-Python. This book is also useful for generic software developers who want to deploy computer vision applications on the cloud. It would be helpful to have some familiarity with basic mathematical concepts such as vectors, matrices, and so on.
