Preface

Mastering OpenCV3, Second Edition contains seven chapters, where each chapter is a tutorial for an entire project from start to finish, based on OpenCV's C++ interface, including the full source code. The author of each chapter was chosen for their well-regarded online contributions to the OpenCV community on that topic, and the book was reviewed by one of the main OpenCV developers. Rather than explaining the basics of OpenCV functions, this book shows how to apply OpenCV to solve whole problems, including several 3D camera projects (augmented reality, and 3D structure from Motion) and several facial analysis projects (such as skin detection, simple face and eye detection, complex facial feature tracking, 3D head orientation estimation, and face recognition), therefore it makes a great companion to the existing OpenCV books.
