This book is a comprehensive guide to learning the basics of computer vision and machine learning using the powerful OpenCV library and the Python programming language. The book offers a practical, hands-on approach to learn the concepts and techniques of computer vision through practical example. All codes in this book are available at Github.

Through a series of examples, the book covers a wide range of topics including image and video processing, feature detection, object detection and recognition, machine learning and deep neural networks. Each chapter includes detailed explanations of the concepts and techniques involved, as well as practical examples and code snippets that demonstrate how to implement them in Python. Throughout the book, readers will work through hands-on examples and projects, learning how to build image processing applications from scratch.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced programmer, this book provides a valuable resource for learning computer vision with OpenCV and Python. The clear and concise writing style makes it easy for readers to follow along, and the numerous examples ensure that readers can practice and apply what they have learned. By the end of the book, readers will have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of computer vision and be able to build their own computer vision applications with confidence. This book is an excellent resource for anyone looking to learn computer vision and machine learning using the OpenCV library and Python programming language.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
