Introduction to OpenCV

OpenCV is a computer vision library developed with computational efficiency in mind and keeping the focus on real-time performance. It is written in C/C++ and it contains more than a hundred functions that help in computer vision applications. The main advantage of OpenCV is that it is open source and released under a Berkley software distribution (BSD) license which allows free use of OpenCV in research and commercial applications. This library has an interface in C, C++, Java, and Python languages and it can be used in all operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android, without modifying a single line of code.

This library can also take advantage of multi-core processing and OpenGL and CUDA for parallel processing. As OpenCV is lightweight, it can be used on embedded platforms such as Raspberry Pi as well. This makes it ideal for deploying...
