Building Computer Vision Projects with OpenCV 4 and C++: Implement complex computer vision algorithms and explore deep learning and face detection
Delve into practical computer vision and image processing projects and get up to speed with advanced object detection techniques and machine learning algorithms
Key FeaturesDiscover best practices for engineering and maintaining OpenCV projectsExplore important deep learning tools for image classificationUnderstand basic image matrix formats and filtersBook DescriptionOpenCV is one of the best open source libraries available and can help you focus on constructing complete projects on image processing, motion detection, and image segmentation.
This Learning Path is your guide to understanding OpenCV concepts and algorithms through real-world examples and activities. Through various projects, you'll also discover how to use complex computer vision and machine learning algorithms and face detection to extract the maximum amount of information from images and videos. In later chapters, you'll learn to enhance your videos and images with optical flow analysis and background subtraction. Sections in the Learning Path will help you get to grips with text segmentation and recognition, in addition to guiding you through the basics of the new and improved deep learning modules. By the end of this Learning Path, you will have mastered commonly used computer vision techniques to build OpenCV projects from scratch. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt

I really don't recommend this book, especially if this is your first time learning OpenCV.
Being the lastest OpenCV and C++ book published (2019), this book is extremely dissapointing. The book literally says "OpenCV4", but contains many tutorials with deprecated libraries from OpenCV3.
It's literally a copy-paste of older OpenCV books (by mostly the same authors), including : OpenCV by Example (2014) and Learn OpenCV4 by Building Projects - Second Edition (2018). Exactly the same wordings, tutorials and examples.
You won't be able to follow a single example without encountering error. Even their OpenCV installation guide in Chapter 1 is a mess (contains deprecated package) and conflicting with Chapter 3.
