Overview of this book

<p>OpenCV Computer Vision with Python shows you how to use the Python bindings for OpenCV. By following clear and concise examples, you will develop a computer vision application that tracks faces in live video and applies special effects to them. If you have always wanted to learn which version of these bindings to use, how to integrate with cross-platform Kinect drivers, and how to efficiently process image data with NumPy and SciPy, then this book is for you.</p> <p>This book has practical, project-based tutorials for Python developers and hobbyists who want to get started with computer vision with OpenCV and Python. It is a hands-on guide that covers the fundamental tasks of computer vision, capturing, filtering, and analyzing images, with step-by-step instructions for writing both an application and reusable library classes.</p>

Summary


At this point, we should have an application that displays a filtered camera feed. We should also have several more filter implementations that are easily swappable with the ones we are currently using. Now, we are ready to proceed with analyzing each frame for the sake of finding faces to manipulate in the next chapter.
