Chapter 5

1. There is a difference between image processing and computer vision fields. Image processing is concerned with improving the visual quality of images by modifying pixel values, whereas computer vision is concerned with extracting important information from the images. So, in image processing, both input and output are images, while in computer vision, input is an image but the output is the information extracted from that image.
2. The OpenCV library has an interface in C, C++, Java, and Python languages and it can be used in all operating systems like Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android without modifying the single line of code. This library can also take advantage of multi-core processing. It can take advantage of OpenGL and CUDA for parallel processing. As OpenCV is lightweight, it can be used on embedded platforms like Raspberry Pi as well. This makes it ideal for deploying...
