In the previous chapter, you learned about image segmentation and contours. You also learned how to detect lines and circles using Hough lines and circles in OpenCV. In this chapter, you will learn how to detect objects and label them. Object detection is one of the most widely used capabilities of computer vision in multiple domains. In Chapter 1, you saw some real-world use cases. In this chapter, you will start with object detection and then move on to object recognition, landmark identification, and finally handwriting recognition.

The following ...
