Summary


In this chapter, we learned about the advanced topics of computer vision with OpenCV and Pi.

We learned about advanced image processing techniques, such as thresholding, noise reduction, contours, and morphological operations. Finally, we implemented all these techniques to build a real-life application for image processing.

In the next chapter, we will learn about the basics of interfacing Pi with Grove Shield and Grove Sensors.
