Treffer: Computer Vision with Python 3

About This BookLearn how to build a full-fledged image processing application using free tools and librariesPerform basic to advanced image and video stream processing with OpenCV's Python APIsUnderstand and optimize various features of OpenCV with the help of easy-to-grasp examplesWho This Book Is ForThis book is for Python developers who want to perform image processing. It's ideal for those who want to explore the field of computer vision, and design and develop computer vision applications using Python. The reader is expected to have basic knowledge of Python.What You Will LearnWork with open source libraries such as Pillow, Scikit-image, and OpenCVWrite programs such as edge detection, color processing, image feature extractionImplement feature detection algorithms such as LBP and ORBTrack objects using an external camera or a video fileLearn about optical character recognition using machine learningUnderstand how to use convolutional neural networks to learn patterns in imagesLeverage cloud infrastructure to provide Computer Vision as a ServiceIn DetailThe field of computer vision involves designing and implementing algorithms to understand images and extract meaningful information from them. This book enables you to build real-world applications using Python and open source image processing libraries.This book is a thorough guide for developers who want to get started with building computer vision applications using Python 3. The book is divided into five sections: The Fundamentals of Image Processing, Applied Computer Vision, Making Applications Smarter, Extending your Capabilities using OpenCV, and Getting Hands-on. Throughout this book, three image processing libraries (Pillow, Scikit-Image, and OpenCV) will be used to implement different computer vision algorithms.The book aims to equip readers to build computer vision applications that are capable of working in real-world scenarios effectively. Some of the applications that we will look at in the book are optical character recognition, object tracking and building a Computer Vision as a Service platform that works over the internet.
