A comprehensive intro to the OpenCV library, a C/C++ toolset for image analysis. Written by two primary contributors to the project, the first of which chaired the Stanley team that won the DARPA whatever challenge involving robots driving a course through the desert for miles without any human intervention.
Some of the math was a bit over my head—and being this is a library book due back in two weeks before I head off to France—I don’t think I’ll get too far immediately here.
The most interesting thing to me was wondering how well these techniques could be adapted to audio analysis. It’s all signal processing, and I don’t know nearly enough about any of it.
