Also learn about object tracking and foreground extractions with a variety of new filters and algorithms. Key Features Filter, transform, and manipulate images using MAT class and OpenCV Framework Explore motion detection and object tracking with filters and algorithms Build object detectors using deep learning and machine learning algorithms Book Description An arena that has been positively impacted by the advancements in processing power and performance is the field of computer vision. It's only natural that over time, more and more algorithms are introduced to perform computer vision tasks more efficiently. Hands-On Algorithms for Computer Vision is a starting point for anyone who is interested in the field of computer vision and wants to explore the most practical algorithms used by professional computer vision developers. The book starts with the basics and builds up over the course of the chapters with hands-on examples for each algorithm. Right from the start, you will learn about the required tools for computer vision development, and how to install and configure them. You'll explore the OpenCV framework and its powerful collection of libraries and functions. Starting from the most simple image modifications, filtering, and transformations, you will gradually build up your knowledge of various algorithms until you are able to perform much more sophisticated tasks, such as real-time object detection using deep learning algorithms. What you will learn Get to grips with machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms Read, write, and process images and videos Perform mathematical, matrix, and other types of image data operations Create and use histograms from back-projection images Detect motion, extract foregrounds, and track objects Extract key points with a collection of feature detector algorithms Develop cascade classifiers and use them, and train and test classifiers Employ TensorFlow object detection to detect multiple objects Who this book is for Hands-On Algorithms for Computer Vision helps those who want to learn algorithms in Computer Vision to create and customize their applications. This book will also help existing Computer Vision developers customize their applications. A basic understanding of computer vision and programming experience is needed.
