KAEHLER, ADRIAN / BRADSKI, GARY / BRADSKI
Describes the features and functions of OpenCV along with information on how to build applications using computer vision.
Book News: Bradski (computer science, Stanford U.) has teamed with Kaehler, a senior computer scientist specializing in machine learning and statistical modeling, to offer this tutorial on how the OpenCV software library is used in the rapidly expanding field of computer vision. The authors show web developers and IT professionals how this framework is used to construct such applications as Google Maps and Google Earth and how OpenCV monitors pixels on LCD screens and runs vision code in real time. Hands-on exercises in each chapter offer detailed descriptions on getting input from cameras, segmenting images and shape matching, 3D reconstruction from stereo vision and machine learning algorithms.
