Learning OpenCV 5 Computer Vision with Python (Paperback)

Paperback. Master computer vision with OpenCV 5 and Python 3 by building practical applications for image processing, object detection, tracking, face recognition, machine learning, 3D vision, and cloud computing.Free with your book: DRM-free PDF version + access to Packt's next-gen Reader*Key FeaturesBuild powerful computer vision applications in concise code with OpenCV 5 and Python 3Learn the fundamental concepts of image processing, object classification, and 2D and 3D trackingTrain, use, and understand machine learning models, and deploy them in the CloudBook DescriptionComputer vision is a fast-moving field of artificial intelligence, powering applications that need to understand images, video, objects, faces, motion, depth, and 3D environments. Learning OpenCV 5 Computer Vision with Python gives you a practical path to building these systems with OpenCV 5 and Python 3.You will begin by setting up OpenCV, understanding what is new in OpenCV 5, and working with images, video, camera feeds, files, and graphical interfaces. From there, you will learn essential image-processing techniques, depth estimation and segmentation, face detection and recognition, and image retrieval using visual descriptors. As your skills develop, you will build custom object detectors, classify and track moving objects, and explore camera models, augmented reality, 3D reconstruction, and navigation. You will also work with machine learning and neural networks, applying them to practical vision tasks before learning how computer vision solutions can be deployed to the cloud and scaled beyond local experimentation.Throughout the book, hands-on Python examples help you connect core concepts with working implementations. By the end, you will have the practical skills to design, build, and extend real-world computer vision applications with OpenCV 5 across desktop and cloud-based workflows.*Email sign-up and proof of purchase requiredWhat you will learnInstall and familiarize yourself with OpenCV 5's Python 3 bindingsUnderstand image processing and video analysisUse a depth camera to distinguish foreground and background regionsDetect and identify objects, and track their motion in videosTrain and use your own models to match images and classify objectsDetect and recognize faces, and classify their ageBuild augmented reality applications, and navigate the real 3D worldTrain neural networks and deploy them as Cloud-based solutionsWho this book is forThis book is for Python programmers who want to learn computer vision and machine learning with OpenCV 5.
