Overview of this book

OpenCV is a native cross-platform C++ library for computer vision, machine learning, and image processing. It is increasingly being adopted in Python for development. This book will get you hands-on with a wide range of intermediate to advanced projects using the latest version of the framework and language, OpenCV 4 and Python 3.8, instead of only covering the core concepts of OpenCV in theoretical lessons. This updated second edition will guide you through working on independent hands-on projects that focus on essential OpenCV concepts such as image processing, object detection, image manipulation, object tracking, and 3D scene reconstruction, in addition to statistical learning and neural networks. You’ll begin with concepts such as image filters, Kinect depth sensor, and feature matching. As you advance, you’ll not only get hands-on with reconstructing and visualizing a scene in 3D but also learn to track visually salient objects. The book will help you further build on your skills by demonstrating how to recognize traffic signs and emotions on faces. Later, you’ll understand how to align images, and detect and track objects using neural networks. By the end of this OpenCV Python book, you’ll have gained hands-on experience and become proficient at developing advanced computer vision apps according to specific business needs.

Understanding visual saliency

Visual saliency is a technical term from cognitive psychology that tries to describe the visual quality of certain objects or items that allows them to grab our immediate attention. Our brains constantly drive our gaze toward the important regions of the visual scene and keep track of them over time, allowing us to quickly scan our surroundings for interesting objects and events while neglecting the less important parts.

An example of a regular RGB image and its conversion to a saliency map, where the statistically interesting pop-out regions appear bright and the others dark, is shown in the following screenshot:

Fourier analysis will enable us to get a general understanding of natural image statistics, which will help us build a model of what general image backgrounds look like. By comparing and contrasting the background model to a specific image...
