Overview of this book

<p>Android Application Programming with OpenCV 3 is a practical, hands-on guide to computer vision and mobile app development. It shows how to capture, manipulate, and analyze images while building an application that combines photography and augmented reality. To help the reader become a well-rounded developer, the book covers OpenCV (a computer vision library), Android SDK (a mobile app framework), OpenGL ES (a 3D graphics framework), and even JNI (a Java/C++ interoperability layer).</p> <p>Now in its second edition, the book offers thoroughly reviewed code, instructions, and explanations. It is fully updated to support OpenCV 3 and Android 5, as well as earlier versions. Although it focuses on OpenCV's Java bindings, this edition adds an extensive chapter on JNI and C++, so that the reader is well primed to use OpenCV in other environments.</p>

Chapter 2. Working with Camera Frames

In this chapter, we will focus on building a basic photo capture app, which uses OpenCV to capture the frames of camera input. Our app will enable the user to preview, save, edit, and share photos. It will interface with the other apps on the device, via Android's MediaStore and Intent classes. Thus, we will learn how to build bridges between OpenCV and standard Android. In subsequent chapters, we will expand our app, using more functionality from OpenCV.
