Computer Vision for the Web

By: Foat Akhmadeev

Overview of this book

This book will give you an insight into controlling your applications with gestures and head motion and readying them for the web. Packed with real-world tasks, it begins with a walkthrough of the basic concepts of Computer Vision that the JavaScript world offers us, and you’ll implement various powerful algorithms in your own online application. Then, we move on to a comprehensive analysis of JavaScript functions and their applications. Furthermore, the book will show you how to implement filters and image segmentation, and use tracking.js and jsfeat libraries to convert your browser into Photoshop. Subjects such as object and custom detection, feature extraction, and object matching are covered to help you find an object in a photo. You will see how a complex object such as a face can be recognized by a browser as you move toward the end of the book. Finally, you will focus on algorithms to create a human interface. By the end of this book, you will be familiarized with the application of complex Computer Vision algorithms to develop your own applications, without spending much time learning sophisticated theory.

Chapter 6. What's Next?

You have done a lot so far. Starting from basic math operations to complex filters and object tracking, we reviewed the most popular and most multifunctional libraries on Computer Vision, which are available in the JavaScript world. There are a lot of topics in Computer Vision and image processing, which we did not touch in this book. Here, we will try to provide an idea where you can go next.

First, we will summarize the topics in Computer Vision, which you have already learned. Then, we will discuss why it is so important to use JavaScript in some cases.

Next, we will introduce several JavaScript libraries, which were not covered in the previous chapters. Many of them provide improvements in algorithms and extend applications of Computer Vision in the Web.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • Understanding the importance of client-side scripting

  • Overview of some other interesting libraries in Computer Vision
