OpenCV is an open source programming library for real-time computer vision image processing and monitoring. It offers a framework for performance-optimized vision-based code and is adaptable for remote use on portable devices. It can perform tasks such as camera calibration, object detection, and facial tracking. OpenCV is used in many applications, including mobile robotics and human-computer interaction programs. It also has statistical machine learning libraries.
Open Source Computer Vision Library is the full name of OpenCV, an open source programming function library and toolkit for cross-platform use in real-time computer vision image processing and OpenCV monitoring. Developed towards the end of the 21st century, it was initially intended for three-dimensional (3D) display walls and ray tracing. By making use of creative coding, OpenCV can offer developers a framework for performance-optimized vision-based code in a C or C++ interface initially, though available in several languages, and is adaptable for remote use on portable devices. It is capable of real-time video file capture, basic video setups, object detection, and color and motion detection, among other functions. OpenCV is capable of camera calibration as it can find and track camera calibrations and set stereo match on cameras.
The CalcGlobalOrientation function for OpenCV tracking calculates the motion orientation of a specified region in conjunction with a second CalcMotionGradient command and creates a motion history and timestamp to track the motion direction, returning the results in degrees and recording subsequent motions . The end result would be a sum of the original orientation and shift angles. By reading and writing image files and forcing them into a three-channel color image, the files can be edited, accessed directly and indirectly, and converted to grayscale or color byte images.
The optical flow of images can be directed via block-matching tracking and each pixel calculated and instructed in the flow. Image allocation and drop are possible for one-channel byte images or three-channel float images to set a region of interest or clone an image. OpenCV allows capturing frame images from a video sequence from a file from multiple cameras simultaneously by taking an image from each and retrieving them from all, to create and edit new video streams.
OpenCV facial tracking is done through its Camshift functions. This feature implements an object tracking algorithm, finds the center of the object, creates a color histogram, calculates the face probability, then moves the position of the face rectangle in each video frame and makes adjustments by calculating the size and ‘corner. Focus the brightest pixels on the centered face and use scaling to fit smaller faces in subsequent frames if the image is receding.
The tracking capabilities of OpenCV are used in many applications. From facial recognition to gesture recognition, mobile robotics, human-computer interaction programs, and stereopsis, which creates depth perception of stereo vision using two cameras, using object, color, and motion detection. OpenCV also has statistical machine learning libraries containing decision tree learning modules, expectation maximization monitoring algorithms, gradient boosting trees, and artificial neural network operation modules.
