Computer Vision for the Web

By: Foat Akhmadeev

Overview of this book

This book will give you an insight into controlling your applications with gestures and head motion and readying them for the web. Packed with real-world tasks, it begins with a walkthrough of the basic concepts of Computer Vision that the JavaScript world offers us, and you’ll implement various powerful algorithms in your own online application. Then, we move on to a comprehensive analysis of JavaScript functions and their applications. Furthermore, the book will show you how to implement filters and image segmentation, and use tracking.js and jsfeat libraries to convert your browser into Photoshop. Subjects such as object and custom detection, feature extraction, and object matching are covered to help you find an object in a photo. You will see how a complex object such as a face can be recognized by a browser as you move toward the end of the book. Finally, you will focus on algorithms to create a human interface. By the end of this book, you will be familiarized with the application of complex Computer Vision algorithms to develop your own applications, without spending much time learning sophisticated theory.

Summary


This is the last chapter of this book. Here, we saw examples that aggregate many techniques from the previous chapters. We covered object detection and tracking by color, which you can use to create your first tracking application very quickly. We explored the power of Head-coupled perspective, which is a new way to present the content on your websites in a fresh manner or create funny browser games with a human interface. In addition to that, the optical flow provides many extensions to this field too. It provides you with an excellent way to track points and objects. Moreover, now you can create a simple application that uses gestures to zoom the web content. The usage of optical flow is not limited to that and is very flexible, and it can be combined with many techniques.
