OpenCV for Secret Agents

by Joseph Howse

Overview

• Build OpenCV apps for the desktop, the Raspberry Pi, Android, and the Unity game engine

• Learn real-time techniques that can be used to classify images, detecting and recognizing any person or animal, and studying motion and distance with superhuman precision

• Design hands-free interfaces that are practical in home automation, in cars, and in discrete surveillance

This book is for programmers who want to expand their skills by building fun, smart, and useful systems with OpenCV. The projects are ideal in helping you to think creatively about the uses of computer vision, natural user interfaces, and ubiquitous computers (in your home, car, and hand).
