Overview of this book

OpenCV and Qt have proven to be a winning combination for developing cross-platform computer vision applications. By leveraging their power, you can create robust applications with both an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and high-performance capabilities. This book will help you learn through a variety of real-world projects on image processing, face and text recognition, object detection, and high-performance computing. You’ll be able to progressively build on your skills by working on projects of increasing complexity. You’ll begin by creating an image viewer application, building a user interface from scratch by adding menus, performing actions based on key-presses, and applying other functions. As you progress, the book will guide you through using OpenCV image processing and modification functions to edit an image with filters and transformation features. In addition to this, you’ll explore the complex motion analysis and facial landmark detection algorithms, which you can use to build security and face detection applications. Finally, you’ll learn to use pretrained deep learning models in OpenCV and GPUs to filter images quickly. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to effectively develop full-fledged computer vision applications with OpenCV and Qt.

Chapter 2, Editing Images Like a Pro

  1. How would we know whether an OpenCV function supports in-place operations?

As we mentioned in the chapter, we can refer to the official document pertaining to the function. If the document stipulates that it supports in-place operations, then it does, otherwise, it doesn't.

  1. How can a hotkey be added to each action we added as a plugin?

We can add a new method to the plugin interface class that returns a QList<QKeySequence> instance and implement it in the concrete plugin class. When we load the plugin, we call that method to get the shortcut key sequence and set it as the hotkey of the action for that plugin.

  1. How can a new action be added to discard all the changes in the current image in our application?

First of all, add a class field of the QPixmap type to the MainWindow class. Before editing the current image, we save a...
