This chapter will enable you to perform basic operations required in computer vision, such as dealing with matrices, opening files, capturing videos from a camera, playing videos, and creating GUIs for prototype applications.
In this chapter, the following topics will be covered:
Basic matrix manipulation
Pixel manipulation
How to load and display images from files
How to capture a video from a camera
Video playback
Swing GUI's integration with OpenCV
By the end of this chapter, you should be able to get this computer vision application started by loading images and creating nice GUIs to manipulate them.
