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


Throughout your career as a developer or your studies and research, you will come across the word, sustainable a lot. This chapter's goal was to introduce you to the basic concepts of creating a sustainable application in general, and a computer vision application using Qt and OpenCV in particular. You are now familiar with creating plugins, which consequently means you can create an application that can be extended by reusable libraries created by third-party developers (or yourself, of course) and without the need to rebuild the core application. In this chapter, you also learned about customizing the look and feel of a Qt application and creating multi-language Qt applications.

It was a long, but hopefully rewarding chapter. If you have followed through every example and step-by-step instruction, then by now you should be familiar with some of the most crucial techniques of cross-platform application development using the Qt framework. In this chapter, you learned about styling...
