Freeman, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eLearning OpenCV\u003c\/em\u003e puts you in the middle of the rapidly expanding field of computer vision. Written by the creators of the free open source OpenCV library, this book introduces you to computer vision and demonstrates how you can quickly build applications that enable computers to \"see\" and make decisions based on that data. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Computer vision is everywhere-in security systems, manufacturing inspection systems, medical image analysis, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and more. It stitches Google maps and Google Earth together, checks the pixels on LCD screens, and makes sure the stitches in your shirt are sewn properly. OpenCV provides an easy-to-use computer vision framework and a comprehensive library with more than 500 functions that can run vision code in real time. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eLearning OpenCV\u003c\/em\u003e will teach any developer or hobbyist to use the framework quickly with the help of hands-on exercises in each chapter.
