OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision.
|
|
|
|
|
Originally developed by Intel, it was later supported by Willow Garage then Itseez (which was later acquired by Intel).
|
|
|
|
|
Opencv currently supports wide variety of languages like, C++, Python, Java etc

|
* __Reading image in OpenCV__
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
import cv2
|
|
|
|
|
img = cv2.imread('cat.jpg')
|
|
|
|
|
# Simple isn't it?
|
|
|
|
|
# Displaying the image
|
|
|
|
|
# imshow() function is used to display the image
|
|
|
|
|
cv2.imshow('Image',img)
|
|
|
|
|
# Your first arguement is the title of the window and second parameter is image
|
|
|
|
|
# If you are getting error, Object Type None, your image path may be wrong. Please recheck the pack to the image
|
|
|
|
|
cv2.waitKey(0)
|
|
|
|
|
# waitKey() is a keyboard binding function and takes arguement in milliseconds. For GUI events you MUST use waitKey() function.
|
|
|
|
