Key benefits

? Build computer vision applications with OpenCV functionality via Python API

? Get to grips with image processing, multiple view geometry, and machine learning

? Learn to use deep learning models for image classification, object detection, and face recognition

Description

OpenCV 3 is a native cross-platform library for computer vision, machine learning, and image processing. OpenCV's convenient high-level APIs hide very powerful internals designed for computational efficiency that can take advantage of multicore and GPU processing. This book will help you tackle increasingly challenging computer vision problems by providing a number of recipes that you can use to improve your applications. In this book, you will learn how to process an image by manipulating pixels and analyze an image using histograms. Then, we'll show you how to apply image filters to enhance image content and exploit the image geometry in order to relay different views of a pictured scene. We’ll explore techniques to achieve camera calibration and perform a multiple-view analysis. Later, you’ll work on reconstructing a 3D scene from images, converting low-level pixel information to high-level concepts for applications such as object detection and recognition. You’ll also discover how to process video from files or cameras and how to detect and track moving objects. Finally, you'll get acquainted with recent approaches in deep learning and neural networks. By the end of the book, you’ll be able to apply your skills in OpenCV to create computer vision applications in various domains.

What you will learn

? Get familiar with low-level image processing methods

? See the common linear algebra tools needed in computer vision

? Work with different camera models and epipolar geometry

? Find out how to detect interesting points in images and compare them

? Binarize images and mask out regions of interest

? Detect objects and track them in videos

Great book with a lot of examples.

Das Buch ist OK (also 5 Sterne): ein Buch mit einfachen Programmbeispielen, ohne die Algorithmen zu erläutern, eben ein "Kochbuch".Vielleicht liest der Verlag mit:Als Cookbook hat es der Autor leicht. Er schaut in die Opencv Dokumentation und überträgt die Beispiele. Die Theorie der Codes braucht er nicht herauszuarbieten.Den Preis finde ich unangemessen:250 Seiten, s/w Druck, auf fast jeder Seite der Hinweis, dass Opencv und Python installiiert sein soll ("Getting ready"). Alleine dies bläht das Volumen um fast 20% auf.Auch der Verweis auf die elektronische Version hilft wenig, wenn man in einem gedruckten Buch blättern möchte.Drei Sterne, um diesen Ärger hervorzuheben.

Il libro è interessante perchè riassume moltissime funzioni di OpenCV, e consente di farsi una idea abbastanza ampia sulle capacità, ma non ci sono assolutamente spiegazioni precise su come funzioni realmente OpenCV, e quindi come sfruttarlo, modificando le ricette proposte, per le proprie necessità. Per ogni spiegazione si rimanda al sito ufficiale di openCV, o a manuali più completi. Utile se si vuole fare copia incolla di codice, Totalmente inutile se si vuole approfondire le funzioni di OpenCV
