Computer Vision Projects with OpenCV and Python 3

By: Matthew Rever

Overview of this book

Python is the ideal programming language for rapidly prototyping and developing production-grade codes for image processing and Computer Vision with its robust syntax and wealth of powerful libraries. This book will help you design and develop production-grade Computer Vision projects tackling real-world problems. With the help of this book, you will learn how to set up Anaconda and Python for the major OSes with cutting-edge third-party libraries for Computer Vision. You'll learn state-of-the-art techniques for classifying images, finding and identifying human postures, and detecting faces within videos. You will use powerful machine learning tools such as OpenCV, Dlib, and TensorFlow to build exciting projects such as classifying handwritten digits, detecting facial features,and much more. The book also covers some advanced projects, such as reading text from license plates from real-world images using Google’s Tesseract software, and tracking human body poses using DeeperCut within TensorFlow. By the end of this book, you will have the expertise required to build your own Computer Vision projects using Python and its associated libraries.

Preface

In this book, you learn how to leverage the power of Python, OpenCV, and TensorFlow to solve problems in computer vision. Python is the ideal programming language for rapidly prototyping and developing production-grade code for image processing and computer vision, with its robust syntax and wealth of powerful libraries.

This book will be your practical guide to designing and developing production-grade computer vision projects that tackle real-world problems. You will learn how to set up Anaconda Python for the major OSes with cutting-edge third-party libraries for computer vision, and you will learn state-of-the-art techniques of classifying images and finding and identifying humans within videos. You will gain the expertise required to build your own computer vision projects using Python and its associated libraries by the end of this book.
