Qt 5 and OpenCV 4 Computer Vision Projects

Editing images like a pro

In the preceding section, we looked at how we can add image editing features as plugins for our application. By doing this, we don't need to take care of the user interface, opening and closing the images, and the hotkeys. Instead, we have to add a new editing feature, which we do by writing a subclass of the EditorPluginInterface interface and implementing its pure virtual functions, and then compile it into a plugin file (a shared library file) and copy it into the plugin directory of our application. In this section, we will talk about image editing using OpenCV.

First, let's start with sharpening images.
