Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the human visual system, and how humans process visual data. We explained why it's difficult for machines to do the same, and what we need to consider when designing a computer vision library.

We learned what could be done using OpenCV, and the various modules that can be used to complete those tasks. Finally, we learned how to install OpenCV in various operating systems.

In the next chapter, we will discuss how to operate on images and how we can manipulate them using various functions. We will also learn about building a project structure for our OpenCV applications.

David Millán Escrivá

David Millán Escrivá

David Millán Escrivá was 8 years old when he wrote his first program on an 8086 PC in Basic, which enabled the 2D plotting of basic equations. In 2005, he finished his studies in IT with honors, through the Universitat Politécnica de Valencia, in human-computer interaction supported by computer vision with OpenCV (v0.96). He has worked with Blender, an open source, 3D software project, and on its first commercial movie, Plumiferos, as a computer graphics software developer. David has more than 10 years' experience in IT, with experience in computer vision, computer graphics, pattern recognition, and machine learning, working on different projects, and at different start-ups, and companies. He currently works as a researcher in computer vision.
