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.

Multi-language support


In this section, you will learn how to create applications that multiple languages using the Qt framework. In fact, it all comes down to a single class that is extremely easy to use. The QTranslator class is the main Qt class responsible for handling internationalization of output (displayed) text. You simply need to make sure of the following:

  1. Use a default language (English, for instance) while you are building your project. This means, simply use sentences and words in the default language for everything that is displayed.
  2. Make sure all literal sentences in your code, or to be specific, all literal sentences that need to be translated when a different language is selected are embraced in a tr() function.

Note

For example, in the code, if you need to write a literal sentence such as Open Input Image (as we did in the Hello_Qt_OpenCV example), simply pass it to a tr function and write tr("Open Input Image") instead. This is not the case with the Designer and only applies...
