Overview of this book

Qt 5.11 is an app development framework that provides a great user experience and develops full capability applications with Qt Widgets, QML, and even Qt 3D. Whether you're building GUI prototypes or fully-fledged cross-platform GUI applications with a native look and feel, Mastering Qt 5 is your fastest, easiest, and most powerful solution. This book addresses various challenges and teaches you to successfully develop cross-platform applications using the Qt framework, with the help of well-organized projects. Working through this book, you will gain a better understanding of the Qt framework, as well as the tools required to resolve serious issues, such as linking, debugging, and multithreading. You'll start off your journey by discovering the new Qt 5.11 features, soon followed by exploring different platforms and learning to tame them. In addition to this, you'll interact with a gamepad using Qt Gamepad. Each chapter is a logical step for you to complete in order to master Qt. By the end of this book, you'll have created an application that has been tested and is ready to be shipped.

Implementing your OpenCV filters

Now that your development environment is ready, we can begin the fun part! We will implement three filters using OpenCV:

  • FilterOriginal: Does nothing and returns the same picture (lazy!)
  • FilterGrayscale: Converts a picture from color to grayscale
  • FilterBlur: Smooths the picture

The parent class of all these filters is Filter. Here is the abstract class:

//Filter.h
class Filter
{
public:
    Filter();
    virtual ~Filter();

    virtual QImage process(const QImage& image) = 0;
};

//Filter.cpp
Filter::Filter() {}
Filter::~Filter() {} 

As you can see, process() is a pure abstract method. All filters will implement a specific behavior with this function. Let's begin with the simple FilterOriginal class. Here is FilterOriginal.h:

class FilterOriginal : public Filter
{
public:
 FilterOriginal();
 ~FilterOriginal();

QImage process(const QImage...
