Now that we have looked at the basics and advanced concepts of image processing, it’s time to look at some real-time use cases. In this chapter we look at five different POCs, which can be tweaked based on your own requirements:

1. 1.

   Finding Palm Lines

    
2. 2.

   Detecting Faces

    
3. 3.

   Recognizing Faces

    
4. 4.

   Tracking Movements

    
5. 5.

   Detecting Lanes

    

Finding Palm Lines

We will use Python and the OpenCV library to determine the major palm lines present in our palm. First, we need to read the original image:

import cv2

image = cv2.imread("palm.jpg")

cv2.imshow("palm",image) #to view ...
