The image processing library

In the previous section, you understood about image processing and its applications. To develop your image processing algorithms, you require some infrastructure/library or you would end up doing everything from scratch by yourself. In this book, we will use the OpenCV library for writing/developing image processing algorithms. OpenCV stands for open source computer vision. It has played a role in the growth of computer vision by enabling thousands of people to do more productive work in vision. With its focus on real-time vision, OpenCV helps students and professionals efficiently implement projects and jump-start research by providing them with a computer vision and machine learning infrastructure that was previously ...
