Mastering OpenCV with Practical Computer Vision Projects

Overview of this book

Computer Vision is fast becoming an important technology and is used in Mars robots, national security systems, automated factories, driver-less cars, and medical image analysis to new forms of human-computer interaction. OpenCV is the most common library for computer vision, providing hundreds of complex and fast algorithms. But it has a steep learning curve and limited in-depth tutorials.Mastering OpenCV with Practical Computer Vision Projects is the perfect book for developers with just basic OpenCV skills who want to try practical computer vision projects, as well as the seasoned OpenCV experts who want to add more Computer Vision topics to their skill set or gain more experience with OpenCV's new C++ interface before migrating from the C API to the C++ API.Each chapter is a separate project including the necessary background knowledge, so try them all one-by-one or jump straight to the projects you're most interested in.Create working prototypes from this book including real-time mobile apps, Augmented Reality, 3D shape from video, or track faces & eyes, fluid wall using Kinect, number plate recognition and so on. Mastering OpenCV with Practical Computer Vision Projects gives you rapid training in nine computer vision areas with useful projects.

Application architecture


Each iOS application contains at least one instance of the UIViewController interface that handles all view events and manages the application's business logic. This class provides the fundamental view-management model for all iOS apps. A view controller manages a set of views that make up a portion of your app's user interface. As part of the controller layer of your app, a view controller coordinates its efforts with model objects and other controller objects—including other view controllers—so your app presents a single coherent user interface.

The application that we are going to write will have only one view; that's why we choose a Single-View Application template to create one. This view will be used to present the rendered picture. Our ViewController class will contain three major components that each AR application should have (see the next diagram):

  • Video source

  • Processing pipeline

  • Visualization engine

The video source is responsible for providing new frames...
