Enhance your understanding of Computer Vision and image processing by developing real-world projects in OpenCV 3About This VideoGet to grips with the basics of Computer Vision and image processingThis is a step-by-step video tutorial to developing several real-world Computer Vision projects using OpenCV 3This video takes a special focus on working with Tesseract OCR, a free, open-source library to recognize text in imagesIn DetailOpen CV is a cross-platform, free-for-use library that is primarily used for real-time Computer Vision and image processing. It is considered to be one of the best open source libraries that helps developers focus on constructing complete projects on image processing, motion detection, and image segmentation.Whether you are completely new to the concept of Computer Vision or have a basic understanding of it, this video will be your guide to understanding the basic OpenCV concepts and algorithms through amazing real-world examples and projects.Starting from the installation of OpenCV on your system and understanding the basics of image processing, we swiftly move on to creating optical flow video analysis or text recognition in complex scenes, and will take you through the commonly-used Computer Vision techniques to build your own Open CV projects from scratch.By the end of this video, you will be familiar with the basics of Open CV such as matrix operations, filters, and histograms, as well as more advanced concepts such as segmentation, machine learning, complex video analysis, and text recognition Show and hide more
