Computer vision with OpenCV involves the utilization of the Open Source Computer Vision Library (OpenCV) to empower machines with visual perception capabilities akin to human vision. OpenCV provides a comprehensive set of tools and functions that enable tasks such as image and video processing, object detection and tracking, facial recognition, and more. Its wide array of pre-built algorithms and techniques, ranging from basic image filtering to advanced machine learning-based methods, makes it a cornerstone for various applications, including robotics, autonomous vehicles, medical imaging, and surveillance systems. By bridging the gap between the digital realm and the visual world, OpenCV plays a pivotal role in advancing technologies that rely on harnessing the power of computer vision.
