Overview of this book

Computer vision is a rapidly evolving science in the field of artificial intelligence, encompassing diverse use cases and techniques. This book will not only help those who are getting started with computer vision but also experts in the domain. You'll be able to put theory into practice by building apps with OpenCV 5 and Python 3. You'll start by setting up OpenCV 5 with Python 3 on various platforms. Next, you'll learn how to perform basic operations such as reading, writing, manipulating, and displaying images, videos, and camera feeds. From taking you through image processing, video analysis, depth estimation, and segmentation, to helping you gain practice by building a GUI app, this book ensures you'll have opportunities for hands-on activities. You'll tackle two popular challenges: face detection and face recognition. You'll also learn about object classification and machine learning, which will enable you to create and use object detectors and even track moving objects in real time. Later, you'll develop your skills in augmented reality and real-world 3D navigation. Finally, you'll cover ANNs and DNNs, learning how to develop apps for recognizing handwritten digits and classifying a person's gender and age, and you'll deploy your solutions to the Cloud. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills you need to execute real-world computer vision projects.

Summary

By now, you should have a good understanding of how face detection and face recognition work and how to implement them in Python and OpenCV 5.

The accuracy of detection and recognition algorithms heavily depends on the quality of the training data, so make sure you provide your applications with a large number of training images covering a variety of expressions, poses, and lighting conditions. Later in this book, in Chapter 11, Neutral Networks with OpenCV – an Introduction, we will look at how to use several robust, pre-trained face detection models that build atop advanced algorithms and large sets of training data.

As human beings, we might be predisposed to think that human faces are particularly recognizable. We might even be overconfident in our own face recognition abilities. However, in computer vision, there is nothing very special about human faces, and we can just as readily use algorithms to find and identify other things. We will begin to do so next in Chapter...
