Overview of this book

Computer Vision (CV) has become an important aspect of AI technology. From driverless cars to medical diagnostics and monitoring the health of crops to fraud detection in banking, computer vision is used across all domains to automate tasks. The Computer Vision Workshop will help you understand how computers master the art of processing digital images and videos to mimic human activities. Starting with an introduction to the OpenCV library, you'll learn how to write your first script using basic image processing operations. You'll then get to grips with essential image and video processing techniques such as histograms, contours, and face processing. As you progress, you'll become familiar with advanced computer vision and deep learning concepts, such as object detection, tracking, and recognition, and finally shift your focus from 2D to 3D visualization. This CV course will enable you to experiment with camera calibration and explore both passive and active canonical 3D reconstruction methods. By the end of this book, you'll have developed the practical skills necessary for building powerful applications to solve computer vision problems.

5. Face Processing in Image and Video

Overview

This chapter aims to show you how to detect faces in an image or a video frame using Haar Cascades, and then track the face when given an input video. Once a face has been detected, you will learn how to use techniques such as GrabCut for performing skin detection. We will also see how cascades can be extended to detect other parts of the face (for instance, the eyes, mouth, and nose). By the end of this chapter, you will be able to create applications for smile detection and Snapchat-like face filters.
