Detect and Track Objects With OpenCV

In the following we make an overview of tutorials and guides that learn you how to use OpenCV for detection and tracking objects. OpenCV is a library for computer visions designed for analyze, process, and understand the objects from images aiming to produce information.

• OpenCV Tutorials – comprehensive list with basic OpenCV tutorials and source code based on OpenCV library;
• Object Detection & Tracking Using Color – example of application where OpenCV is used to detect objects based on color differences;
• Face Detection Using OpenCV - guide how to use OpenCV to detect one or more faces from the same image;
• SURF in OpenCV – tutorial how to use SURF algorithm designed to detect key-points and descriptors in images;
• Introduction to Face Detection and Face Recognition – face detection and recognition are one of the most common application in computer vision from robotics and this tutorial present the steps how a face is detected and recognized from images;
• Find Objects with a Webcam – using a simple webcam mounted on a robot and this Simple Qt interface designed to work with OpenCV, an object can be detected and tracked in images;
• Features 2D + Homography to Find a Known Object – tutorial with programming code and explanation in order to use two important functions included in OpenCV. These two function used to find objects in images are: findHomography and perspectiveTransform. findHomography is a function based on a technique called
  Key-point Matching. perspectiveTransform is an advanced class capable of mapping the points from the image;
• Back Projection – tutorial based on calcBackProject function designed to calculate the back project of the histogram;
• Tracking Colored Objects in OpenCV – tutorial for colored object detection and tracking using OpenCV library;
• OpenCV Tutorials – Based on “Learning OpenCV – Computer Vision with the OpenCV Library” – in order to be familiar with computer vision concepts, these tutorials can be useful for beginner and advanced users;
