A few weeks ago I got a request from a Marketing Research Executive Mr. Dyson D’Souza, who works for Packt Publishing for reviewing a book titled “Instant OpenCV Starter“. He approached me seeing my LinkedIn profile, which you may visit via the widget on the right sidebar of this page. I was quite delighted by the opportunity. Here's my review of the book that can be bought here: http://www.packtpub.com/opencv-starte...
I’m including specific points to what could improve the book w.r.t. each page number and will also be writing an overall conclusion about the current state of this book. At some places, I check if the actual program is working as expected (shown), while on others I went by the semantics of the codes. Same is true for the installation steps. But I did check the veracity of everything that went into the book.
Overall this book is an excellent starting point for beginners to start programming in Image Processing and Computer Vision using OpenCV. This book will surely generate a lot of interest in students who I'm quite sure will get hooked to the enormous possibilities presented by the OpenCV library.
