Course Description
How can you better understand the data structures of images and videos in OpenCV? How can you better understand the underlying structures of objects and features to detect them? The NumPy package is a well-established open source project for numerical computing. Learning how to process NumPy arrays is an essential skill in order to learn the underlying image and video processing concepts in OpenCV, which is why this course contains a series of lessons to show the structures and operations from NumPy and how the OpenCV structures build from them. The topics discussed in these lessons will provide a foundation for all OpenCV learning.
In these lessons on OpenCV Python Development, you will learn how to construct images and videos in OpenCV using NumPy. We will explore NumPy arrays and their operations and structures. By the end of these lessons, you will be able to construct images and videos in OpenCV.
What You'll Learn
- Understand the importance of NumPy arrays in OpenCV
