0The goal of this chapter is to build on what we have covered in the previous chapters about photography and image processing and investigate some algorithms that OpenCV gives you access in a lot more detail. We'll focus on working with digital photography and building tools that will allow you to harness the power of OpenCV, and even think about using it as your go-to tool for editing your photos.
In this chapter, we will cover the following concepts:
- Planning the app
- Understanding the 8-bit problem
- Using gamma correction
- Understanding high-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI)
- Understanding panorama stitching
- Improving panorama stitching
Learning the basics of digital photography and the concepts of high dynamic imaging will not only allow you to understand computational photography better, but it will make you a better photographer...
