Mastering OpenCV 4 - Third Edition

By: Roy Shilkrot, David Millán Escrivá

Overview of this book

Mastering OpenCV, now in its third edition, targets computer vision engineers taking their first steps toward mastering OpenCV. Keeping the mathematical formulations to a solid but bare minimum, the book delivers complete projects from ideation to running code, targeting current hot topics in computer vision such as face recognition, landmark detection and pose estimation, and number recognition with deep convolutional networks. You’ll learn from experienced OpenCV experts how to implement computer vision products and projects both in academia and industry in a comfortable package. You’ll get acquainted with API functionality and gain insights into design choices in a complete computer vision project. You’ll also go beyond the basics of computer vision to implement solutions for complex image processing projects. By the end of the book, you will have created various working prototypes with the help of projects in the book and be well versed with the new features of OpenCV4.

Project overview

This project will include two major parts as follows:

  • iOS application to support capturing the panorama
  • OpenCV Objective-C++ code for creating the panorama from the images and integrating into the application

The iOS code will mostly be concerned with building the UI, accessing the camera, and capturing images. Then, we will focus on getting the images to OpenCV data structures and running the image stitching functions from the stitch module.
