OpenCV: Computer Vision Projects with Python

Project concept

OpenCV is often studied through a cookbook approach that covers a lot of algorithms but nothing about high-level application development. To an extent, this approach is understandable because OpenCV's potential applications are so diverse. For example, we could use it in a photo/video editor, a motion-controlled game, a robot's AI, or a psychology experiment where we log participants' eye movements. Across such different use cases, can we truly study a useful set of abstractions?

I believe we can and the sooner we start creating abstractions, the better. We will structure our study of OpenCV around a single application, but, at each step, we will design a component of this application to be extensible and reusable.

We will develop ...
