Advanced Computer Vision with OpenCV 4 presents techniques and methods for developing computer vision applications using OpenCV 4. The book enables software engineers, researchers, and computer vision enthusiasts to implement advanced image and video processing systems.
OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) stands as one of the most powerful and widely-used open-source libraries for computer vision and image processing. Since its initial release in 2000, OpenCV has evolved significantly, with version 4 introducing substantial improvements in performance, functionality, and deep learning capabilities.
In the Chapter 1, we’ll establish a solid foundation for working with OpenCV 4. We’ll begin by understanding the library’s architecture, followed by setting up a proper development environment for both Python and C++. You’ll learn about the core concepts, basic image operations, and important data structures that form the backbone of OpenCV applications.
Key topics we’ll cover: • Understanding OpenCV’s architecture and modules • Setting up development environments for Python and C++ • Working with basic image I/O operations • Managing different image formats and colour spaces • Exploring fundamental data structures in OpenCV • Best practices for memory management and optimisation
In the realm of computer vision, understanding how images and videos are represented and manipulated at a fundamental level is crucial for developing robust applications. The Chapter 2 looks into the essential concepts that form the backbone of image and video processing with OpenCV 4. We’ll explore how digital images are structured as multi-dimensional arrays of pixels, each carrying intensity or colour information. You’ll learn about different colour spaces (RGB, HSV, LAB), their practical applications, and when to use each one. We’ll also examine various image formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF) and their implications for computer vision tasks. The Chapter 2 then transitions into video fundamentals, explaining how sequences of images create motion, frame rates, video codecs, and the importance of temporal information in video analysis. We’ll cover practical aspects of video capture, streaming, and storage, alongside essential techniques for efficient video processing.
