Welcome to the Practical Computer Vision with OpenCV tutorial! This guide will walk you through real-world applications of OpenCV, a powerful library for computer vision tasks. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you'll find actionable examples and insights here. 🚀

What You'll Learn

  • Installing OpenCV and setting up your environment 🛠️
  • Basic image processing techniques 📸
  • Object detection and tracking 🕵️‍♂️
  • Real-time video analysis with OpenCV 🎥
  • Building a simple computer vision project 🧱

Getting Started

  1. Install OpenCV:
    For Python, use pip install opencv-python.
    For C++, refer to the official documentation.

  2. Load an Image: 

    import cv2
img = cv2.imread('image.jpg')
