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


Whether your application can be easily installed and used on a target computer or not, it can mean winning or losing a significant number of users. Especially with the ones that are not professional users, you must make sure to create and deploy installers that contain all of the required dependencies and work out of the box on the target platform. In this chapter, we talked a fair amount about just that. We learned about the build process and how the linking method that we choose can completely alter the deployment experience. We learned about existing Qt tools to simplify the deployment process on Windows and macOS. Note that these tools contain many more parameters than we saw in this chapter, and they are worth taking a deeper look at by yourself, and trying out various parameters to see their effect for yourself. In the last section of this chapter, we learned about Qt Installer Framework and also created a simple installer by using it. We learned how to create packages that...
