Reviews

[Fahad Naeem · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good book for those who want to learn image processing/manipulation using OpenCV module in Python. The only bad thing about this book is, providing codes in object-oriented programming, which does not lead to better understanding in terms of individuality.

[Taimour Mourad · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a good book, but it needs to get mathematical equations and operations into play, and I wish if i had a main list of subjects in the Computer vision field even if it doesn't go through it

[Pranay Kothapalli · Rating 3 out of 5]

Most of the flags, methods and classes seem to have been renamed/removed from the updated version of OpenCV. Had to refer to the official documentation every time the interpreter threw an error. I suggest you to get an updated version of the book. Overall, a good book to get you started, but not entirely beginner friendly. Doesn't dwell deep into the basics of computer vision stuff, just a scratch on the surface. Wasn't entirely satisfied, but a good read overall.

It's a good book for beginners but sometimes I wish the author went a little further and deeper. The book doesn't cover anything that you couldn't find online, and although the book is relatively short, a lot of time is spent on installation instructions.
