Mastering OpenCV 4 with Python

An introduction to machine learning

In Chapter 1, Setting Up OpenCV, we introduced the concepts of computer vision, artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks, and deep learning, which can be structured in a hierarchical way, as shown here:

As can be seen, the Artificial Intelligence topic includes all of the other topics. In this chapter, we are going to focus on Machine Learning.

See Chapter 1, Setting Up OpenCV, if you want a refresher on these concepts.

Machine Learning is the process of programming computers to learn from historical data to make predictions on new data. Machine Learning is a sub-discipline of artificial ...
