The Python Bible Volume 7: Computer Vision (OpenCV, Object Recognition)

Impressive Computer Vision with Python!

The Computer Vision field is one of the most interesting and exciting subjects of computer science. This field focuses on how computers perceive and process image and video data. The technologies of this field are essential for our future. With computer vision we are able to make unreadable texts readable. We are also able to recognize faces and other objects in real time. We can apply filters, transformations and lots of effects. If you want to be a part of this movement instead of being overrun by it, you should learn these skills as fast as possible!

In this seventh volume of The Python Bible, we will build on the skills and knowledge of the previous volumes. You will receive a well-written and detailed book that will help you to become a computer vision expert in Python. You will learn to do many impressive things like making poorly lit texts readable, movement detection in videos and professional object recognition. In this book you will learn step-by-step, how to realize these projects.

After Reading This Book You Will Have The Following Skills:

• Understanding computer vision and visual computing• Understanding color schemes (RGB, BGR, HSV)• Making unreadable texts readable again with thresholding• Extracting essential information out of images and videos• Edge detection• Template matching and feature matching• Movement detection in videos• Professional object recognition with OpenCV
