Overview of this book

Developers have been using OpenCV library to develop computer vision applications for a long time. However, they now need a more effective tool to get the job done and in a much better and modern way. Qt is one of the major frameworks available for this task at the moment. This book will teach you to develop applications with the combination of OpenCV 3 and Qt5, and how to create cross-platform computer vision applications. We’ll begin by introducing Qt, its IDE, and its SDK. Next you’ll learn how to use the OpenCV API to integrate both tools, and see how to configure Qt to use OpenCV. You’ll go on to build a full-fledged computer vision application throughout the book. Later, you’ll create a stunning UI application using the Qt widgets technology, where you’ll display the images after they are processed in an efficient way. At the end of the book, you’ll learn how to convert OpenCV Mat to Qt QImage. You’ll also see how to efficiently process images to filter them, transform them, detect or track objects as well as analyze video. You’ll become better at developing OpenCV applications.

Summary


In this chapter, you learned about debugging using Qt Creator and the capabilities it offers in order to further analyze the codes, find issues, and try to fix them using breakpoints, call stack viewer, and so on. This was but a small taste of what can be done using a debugger, and it was meant to prepare you to take on using the debugger on your own and develop coding and debugging habits of your own that can help you overcome programming issues with much more ease. Apart from debugging and developer-level tests, we also learned about Unit Testing in Qt, which is especially important with the ever-growing number of applications and projects written using the Qt Framework. Test Automation is one of the hot topics in the application development industry nowadays, and having a clear idea about the Qt Test Framework will help you develop better and reliable tests. It is important to get used to writing Unit Tests for your projects, and yes, even for the very small ones. The cost of...
