Overview of this book

OpenCV is an image and video processing library used for all types of image and video analysis. Throughout the book, you'll work with recipes to implement a variety of tasks. With 70 self-contained tutorials, this book examines common pain points and best practices for computer vision (CV) developers. Each recipe addresses a specific problem and offers a proven, best-practice solution with insights into how it works, so that you can copy the code and configuration files and modify them to suit your needs. This book begins by guiding you through setting up OpenCV, and explaining how to manipulate pixels. You'll understand how you can process images with classes and count pixels with histograms. You'll also learn detecting, describing, and matching interest points. As you advance through the chapters, you'll get to grips with estimating projective relations in images, reconstructing 3D scenes, processing video sequences, and tracking visual motion. In the final chapters, you'll cover deep learning concepts such as face and object detection. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills you need to confidently implement a range of computer vision algorithms to meet the technical requirements of your complex CV projects.

Detecting objects and people using SVMs and histograms of oriented gradients

This recipe presents another machine learning method, the SVM, which can produce accurate 2-class classifiers from training data. They have been largely used to solve many computer vision problems. This time, classification is solved by using a mathematical formula that looks at the geometry of the problem in high-dimension spaces.

In addition, we will also present a new image representation that is often used in conjunction with SVMs to produce robust object detectors.

Getting ready

Images of objects are mainly characterized by their shape and textual content. This is the aspect that is captured by the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) representation...
