Learning OpenCV 5 Computer Vision with Python: Build practical computer vision and machine learning applications with OpenCV 5 and Python 3

Computer vision is a fast-moving field of artificial intelligence, powering applications that need to understand images, video, objects, faces, motion, depth, and 3D environments. Learning OpenCV 5 Computer Vision with Python gives you a practical path to building these systems with OpenCV 5 and Python 3.

You will begin by setting up OpenCV, understanding what is new in OpenCV 5, and working with images, video, camera feeds, files, and graphical interfaces. From there, you will learn essential image-processing techniques, depth estimation and segmentation, face detection and recognition, and image retrieval using visual descriptors. As your skills develop, you will build custom object detectors, classify and track moving objects, and explore camera models, augmented reality, 3D reconstruction, and navigation. You will also work with machine learning and neural networks, applying them to practical vision tasks before learning how computer vision solutions can be deployed to the cloud and scaled beyond local experimentation.

Throughout the book, hands-on Python examples help you connect core concepts with working implementations. By the end, you will have the practical skills to design, build, and extend real-world computer vision applications with OpenCV 5 across desktop and cloud-based workflows.
