Book Description

This book is a hands-on introduction to computer vision using Python.

The idea behind this book is to give an easily accessible entry point to hands-on computer vision with enough understanding of the underlying theory and algorithms to be a foundation for students, researchers and enthusiasts. The Python programming language, the language choice of this book, comes with many freely available powerful modules for handling images, mathematical computing and data mining.

• Jan Erik Solem is a Python enthusiast and a computer vision researcher and entrepreneur. He is an applied mathematician and has worked as associate professor, startup CTO, and now also book author. He sometimes writes about computer vision and Python on his blog www.janeriksolem.net. He has used Python for computer vision in teaching, research and industrial applications for many years. He currently lives in San Francisco.

• Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications, Second Edition

  This book explores the variety of techniques used to analyze and interpret images. It also describes challenging real-world applications where vision is being successfully used, both in specialized applications as well as for fun, consumer-level tasks.

• Computer Vision: Models, Learning, and Inference (Simon Prince)

  The book starts from the basics of probability and model fitting and works up to real examples that the reader can implement and modify to build useful vision systems. The detailed methodological presentation is useful for practitioners of computer vision.

• Developing Graphics Frameworks with Python and OpenGL

  It shows you how to create software for rendering complete three-dimensional scenes, explains the foundational theoretical concepts as well as the practical programming techniques that will enable you to create your own animated and interactive worlds.

• Computer Vision Metrics: Survey, Taxonomy, and Analysis

  This book provides an extensive survey and analysis of over 100 current and historical feature description and machine vision methods, with a detailed taxonomy for local, regional and global features.

• Mastering OpenCV 4: Computer Vision & Image Processing Apps

  This book targets computer vision engineers taking their first steps toward mastering OpenCV. Keeping the mathematical formulations to a solid but bare minimum, it delivers complete projects from ideation to running code, targeting current hot topics, etc.

• Computer Vision (Dana H. Ballard, et al)

  This book is the construction of explicit, meaningful descriptions of physical objects from images. Image understanding is very different from image processing, which studies image-to-image transformations, not explicit description building.
