Key Features

Gain practical insights into code for all projects covered in this book
Understand modern computer vision concepts such as character recognition, image processing and modification
Learn to use a graphics processing unit (GPU) and its parallel processing power for filtering images quickly

Book Description

OpenCV and Qt have proven to be a winning combination for developing cross-platform computer vision applications. By leveraging their power, you can create robust applications with both an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and high-performance capabilities. This book will help you learn through a variety of real-world projects on image processing, face and text recognition, object detection, and high-performance computing. Youll be able to progressively build on your skills by working on projects of increasing complexity.

Youll begin by creating an image viewer application, building a user interface from scratch by adding menus, performing actions based on key-presses, and applying other functions. As you progress, the book will guide you through using OpenCV image processing and modification functions to edit an image with filters and transformation features. In addition to this, youll explore the complex motion analysis and facial landmark detection algorithms, which you can use to build security and face detection applications. Finally, youll learn to use pretrained deep learning models in OpenCV and GPUs to filter images quickly.

By the end of this book, you will have learned how to effectively develop full-fledged computer vision applications with OpenCV and Qt.

What you will learn

Create an image viewer with all the basic requirements
Construct an image editor to filter or transform images
Develop a security app to detect movement and secure homes
Build an app to detect facial landmarks and apply masks to faces
Create an app to extract text from scanned documents and photos
Train and use cascade classifiers and DL models for object detection
Build an app to measure the distance between detected objects
Implement high-speed image filters on GPU with Open Graphics Library (OpenGL)

Who this book is for

This book is for engineers and developers who are familiar with both Qt and OpenCV frameworks and are capable of creating simple projects using them, but want to build their skills to create professional-level projects using them. Familiarity with the C language is a must to follow the example source codes in this book.
