Additionally, you will understand the process of detecting edges (object boundaries) in an image using different algorithms implemented in OpenCV with a high level of abstraction.

The second topic will be about another famous shape analysis technique called the Hough transform. You will learn about the basic idea behind this technique that has made it very popular and widely used, and we will use the OpenCV implementation...
