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.

Localizing with CNNs

Being able to create your own localizer is a good way to acquire intuition on how an object detection network might work. This is because the only conceptual difference between object detection and localization networks is that a localization network predicts a single bounding box, while an object detection network predicts multiple boxes. Also, it is a good way to start understanding how to build a neural network that accomplishes other regression tasks.

In this section, we are going to use the same pretrained classifier network, MobileNetV2, as the previous section. However, this time we are going to use the network for localizing objects instead of classifying. Let's import the required modules and the base model in the same way that we did in the previous section—although, this time, we are not going to freeze the layers of the base model...
