Overview of this book

<p>Most technologies are developed with an inspiration of human capabilities. Most of the time, the hardest to implement capability is vision. Development of highly capable computer vision applications in an easy way requires a generic approach. In this approach, Arduino is a perfect tool for interaction with the real world. Moreover, the combination of OpenCV and Arduino boosts the level and quality of practical computer vision applications.</p> <p>Computer vision is the next level of sensing the environment. The purpose of this book is to teach you how to develop Arduino-supported computer vision systems that can interact with real life by seeing it.</p> <p>This book will combine the powers of Arduino and computer vision in a generalized, well-defined, and applicable way. The practices and approaches in the book can be used for any related problems and on any platforms. At the end of the book, you should be able to solve any types of real life vision problems with all its components by using the presented approach. Each component will extend your vision with the best practices on the topic.</p> <p>In each chapter, you will find interesting real life practical application examples about the topics in the chapter. To make it grounded, we will build a vision-enabled robot step by step towards the end of the book. You will observe that, even though the contexts of the problems are very different, the approaches to solve them are the same and very easy!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Summary


Let's now summarize what we learned in this chapter. What we've built in this chapter is an interaction with physical life by using the Arduino. Now you are capable of converting the conclusions of the vision controller to a real physical act! Of course, performing the correct actions across the board is crucial. This chapter gave you the best practices to enable you to produce the best design for your own application's needs.

Now, it is time to combine everything you've learned from this book and build it into real life examples. In the next chapter you will learn how to combine everything you have learned up till now and how to build a complex system easily. Get ready for the next chapter!
