Overview of this book

OpenCV is considered to be one of the best open source computer vision and machine learning software libraries. It helps developers build complete projects in relation to image processing, motion detection, or image segmentation, among many others. OpenCV for Python enables you to run computer vision algorithms smoothly in real time, combining the best of the OpenCV C++ API and the Python language. In this book, you'll get started by setting up OpenCV and delving into the key concepts of computer vision. You'll then proceed to study more advanced concepts and discover the full potential of OpenCV. The book will also introduce you to the creation of advanced applications using Python and OpenCV, enabling you to develop applications that include facial recognition, target tracking, or augmented reality. Next, you'll learn machine learning techniques and concepts, understand how to apply them in real-world examples, and also explore their benefits, including real-time data production and faster data processing. You'll also discover how to translate the functionality provided by OpenCV into optimized application code projects using Python bindings. Toward the concluding chapters, you'll explore the application of artificial intelligence and deep learning techniques using the popular Python libraries TensorFlow, and Keras. By the end of this book, you'll be able to develop advanced computer vision applications to meet your customers' demands.

Understanding Python

Python is an interpreted high-level and general-purpose programming language with a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. The official home of the Python programming language is https://www.python.org/. The popularity of Python has risen steadily over the past decade. This is because Python is a very important programming language in some of today's most exciting and challenging technologies. Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, neural networks, deep learning, Internet of Things (IoT), and robotics (among others) rely on Python.

Here are some advantages of Python:

  • Python is considered a perfect language for scientific computing, mainly for four reasons:
    • It is very easy to understand.
    • It has support (via packages) for scientific computing.
    • It removes many of the complexities other programming languages have.
    • It has a simple...
