Computer Vision Projects with OpenCV and Python 3

This is the code repository for Computer Vision Projects with OpenCV and Python 3, published by Packt.

Six end-to-end projects built using machine learning with OpenCV, Python, and TensorFlow

What is this book about?

Python is the ideal programming language for rapidly prototyping and developing production-grade codes for image processing and Computer Vision with its robust syntax and wealth of powerful libraries. This book will help you design and develop production-grade Computer Vision projects tackling real-world problems.

This book covers the following exciting features: Install and run major Computer Vision packages within Python Apply powerful support vector machines for simple digit classification Understand deep learning with TensorFlow Build a deep learning classifier for general images Use LSTMs for automated image captioning Read text from real-world images Extract human pose data from images
