Key Features

Image Processing

Perform filtering, transformations, edge detection, and morphological operations with ease.

Real-time Performance

Optimized for speed with support for hardware acceleration and multi-threading.

Cross-platform Support

Runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS with bindings for multiple languages.

AI Integration

Integrates with deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and ONNX for advanced tasks.

How It Works

1

Install OpenCV

Use pip (`opencv-python`) or build from source for full feature support.

2

Load Image/Video

Use `cv2.imread()` or `cv2.VideoCapture()` to load media for processing.

3

Apply Transformations

Use functions like `cv2.resize()`, `cv2.cvtColor()`, and `cv2.GaussianBlur()` to manipulate images.

4

Detect Features

Use Haar cascades, DNN modules, or contour detection for object and face recognition.

5

Display & Save

Use `cv2.imshow()` to visualize and `cv2.imwrite()` to save processed outputs.

Code Example

// OpenCV Model Training
import cv2

# Load image
img = cv2.imread("sample.jpg")

# Convert to grayscale
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# Apply Gaussian blur
blurred = cv2.GaussianBlur(gray, (5, 5), 0)

# Detect edges
edges = cv2.Canny(blurred, 50, 150)

# Show result
cv2.imshow("Edges", edges)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Use Cases

Face Detection

Detect and track faces in images or video streams using Haar cascades or DNNs.

Object Tracking

Track moving objects across frames using optical flow or tracking algorithms.

Image Filtering

Apply blurs, sharpening, thresholding, and other filters for preprocessing.

Camera Calibration

Calibrate cameras and correct lens distortion for accurate measurements.
