Overview of this book

With the advancements in wireless devices and mobile technology, there's increasing demand for people with digital image processing skills in order to extract useful information from the ever-growing volume of images. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the relevant tools and algorithms, and guides you through analysis and visualization for image processing. With the help of over 60 cutting-edge recipes, you'll address common challenges in image processing and learn how to perform complex tasks such as object detection, image segmentation, and image reconstruction using large hybrid datasets. Dedicated sections will also take you through implementing various image enhancement and image restoration techniques, such as cartooning, gradient blending, and sparse dictionary learning. As you advance, you'll get to grips with face morphing and image segmentation techniques. With an emphasis on practical solutions, this book will help you apply deep learning techniques such as transfer learning and fine-tuning to solve real-world problems. By the end of this book, you'll be proficient in utilizing the capabilities of the Python ecosystem to implement various image processing techniques effectively.

Multiple object tracking with Python-OpenCV

Object tracking (in a video) is an image/video processing task that locates one or multiple moving objects over time. The goal of the task is to find an association between the target object(s) in the successive video frames. The task becomes difficult when the objects move faster relative to the frame rate or when the object to be tracked changes its orientation over time. The object tracking systems use a motion model taking into account how the target object may change for different possible motions of the object.

Object tracking is useful in human-computer interaction, security/surveillance, traffic control, and many more areas. Since it considers the appearance and the location of an object in the past frame, under certain circumstances, we may still be able to track an object despite the object detection fails. Few tracking algorithms...
