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.

Qt Test Framework


and testing while developing your applications is completely unavoidable, but the one thing that many developers tend to miss is to take care of unit testing, which is even more important, especially in big projects and applications that are hard to fully test manually, every time they are built or a bug is fixed somewhere in their code. Unit testing refers to a method of testing parts and pieces (units) in an application to make sure they are working as intended. It's also worth noting that Test Automation, which is one of the hot topics of software development nowadays, is the process of automating unit tests using third-party software or programming.

In this section, we will learn about using the Qt Test Framework, or Qt Test Namespace, to be precise (along with a few additional test-related classes), that can be used to develop unit tests for applications built with Qt. As opposed to third-party testing frameworks, the Qt Test Framework is an in-house (based on Qt Framework...
