Overview of this book

<p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">This video course is a practical guide for developers who want to get started with building computer vision applications using Python 3. The video is divided into six sections: </span></p> <ul> <li>The Fundamentals of Image Processing&nbsp;</li> <li>Applied Computer Vision</li> <li>Object detection</li> <li>Making Applications Smarter</li> <li>Extending your Capabilities using OpenCV</li> <li>Getting Hands on</li> </ul> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">Throughout this video course, three image processing libraries: Pillow, Scikit-Image, and OpenCV are used to implement different computer vision algorithms.</span></p> <p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">The course will help you build Computer Vision applications that are capable of working in real-world scenarios effectively. Some of the applications that we look at in the course are Optical Character Recognition, Object Tracking and building a Computer Vision as a Service platform that works over the internet.</span></p> <h2><span class="sugar_field">Style and Approach</span></h2> <p><span class="sugar_field"><span id="trade_selling_points_c" class="sugar_field">Each stage of the course elaborates on various concepts and algorithms in image processing/computer vision using Python. This step-by-step practical guide can be used both as a tutorial and as a reference.</span></span></p>

Section 1
Harris Corner Detection
A very crude way to find corners in an image is to first find all the edges in the image and then pairwise check if the edges intersect. This might work well in some cases but will be very inefficient and impractical in real situations. Let us look at a faster corner detection algorithm—Harris corner. - Maximize the value for detecting a corner - Calculate the Harris corner response using the corner_harris() function
