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.

Structure of a Qt Quick Application


In this section, we are going to about the structure of a Qt Quick Application project. Similar to Qt Widgets Application projects, most of the files required for a Qt Quick Application project are created automatically when you create a new project using Qt Creator, so you don't really need to memorize all of what is needed as a minimum, but still it is important to understand some of the basic concepts of how a Qt Quick Application is handled in order to be able to further extend it, or, as we'll learn in a later section of this chapter, to integrate and use C++ codes inside a QML file.

Let's go through this by creating an example application. Start by opening Qt Creator and pressing the New Project button from the welcome screen, or by choosing New File or Project from the File menu. Choose Qt Quick Controls 2 Application as the template type and press Choose, as seen in the following screenshot:

Set the name of the project as CvQml and press Next. In...
