Overview of this book

OpenCV is an opensource library for building computer vision apps. The latest release, OpenCV 4, offers a plethora of features and platform improvements that are covered comprehensively in this up-to-date second edition. You'll start by understanding the new features and setting up OpenCV 4 to build your computer vision applications. You will explore the fundamentals of machine learning and even learn to design different algorithms that can be used for image processing. Gradually, the book will take you through supervised and unsupervised machine learning. You will gain hands-on experience using scikit-learn in Python for a variety of machine learning applications. Later chapters will focus on different machine learning algorithms, such as a decision tree, support vector machines (SVM), and Bayesian learning, and how they can be used for object detection computer vision operations. You will then delve into deep learning and ensemble learning, and discover their real-world applications, such as handwritten digit classification and gesture recognition. Finally, you’ll get to grips with the latest Intel OpenVINO for building an image processing system. By the end of this book, you will have developed the skills you need to use machine learning for building intelligent computer vision applications with OpenCV 4.

Using OpenVINO with OpenCV

In the first chapter, we discussed various new additions in the OpenCV 4.0 release. One of the key releases to note is the OpenVINO toolkit. It's also interesting to note that the OpenVINO toolkit was selected as the 2019 Developer Tool of the Year by Embedded Vision Alliance.

In this chapter, we will focus only on how to use the OpenVINO toolkit with OpenCV. We will begin by installing the OpenVINO toolkit and then proceed to an interactive face detection demo with it. We will also learn to use OpenVINO Model Zoo with OpenCV and the OpenVINO Inference Engine (IE) with OpenCV. At the end of this chapter, we will also learn how to carry out image classification using OpenCV with OpenVINO IE.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • OpenVINO toolkit installation
  • Interactive face detection demo
  • Using OpenVINO Model Zoo with OpenCV
  • Using...
