Great Book
Review written by: Andrei Mouravski From
The OpenCV library provides an amazing opportunity to those interested
in computer vision to begin exploring the field. The only problem with
OpenCV is that it is considerably lacking in straightforward,
easy-to-use documentation. Luckily, that's where this book comes in.

The rapidly expanding OpenCV library is explained in detail throughout
this book and those that read it gain a vast understanding of the
methods and classes provided through the library. With a simple
webcam, the opportunities to utilize the library are nearly endless.
Personally, I used this book as a reference while designing an
Automated Weapon Turret (sentry gun).

The book covers the basics of OpenCV from grabbing a frame from a
video or webcam to complex image processing tasks like stereo vision,
motion tracking, and machine learning. Because the library is
constantly expanding and being rewritten, not all of the information
in the book is up to date, but it certainly helps to establish a
background on how to use the library. While not a necessary tool for
using the OpenCV library, it is definitely a very useful and highly
recommended introduction and reference.

Great image processing and OpenCV book
Review written by: Daniel L. Clapp From
This is a great book if you are either just getting started with OpenCV, or want to learn some the theory behind some of the algorithms. It is a very practical and well written book with plenty of samples. The source code is available, if you can find it, which makes things even more easy to implement and test.
I would heartily recommend this book, if you are interested in jumping into OpenCV.

The book arrived really fast and in a very good condition. Thanks so much !!!!

Fantastic reference / textbook
Review written by: John S. Kjellman From Orland Park, IL United States
Although I'm new to OpenCV and am only a few chapters into the book I already can tell that Using OpenCV is very well written and makes a fantastic source of information for the OpenCV project. Details are given as well as sample code that clearly explain the nuances of using this library. The authors make it clear that they intend this text to be used to teach/learn about using OpenCV and do a great job of covering the basics before moving on to more advanced topics.

Be aware you will need to be knowledgeable about the C language and need a decent math background. The former because OpenCV is written in C and the later because computer vision processing is math intensive and while OpenCV has man routines to handle the details you still need an understanding of the basic math involve to properly utilize them.

A hardcopy
Review written by: Claudio Cavalcanti From Paraiba, Brazil
This book reflects essentially what are in the several web sites, including OpenCv documentation. If you want a hardcopy of online documentation (as I wanted), then that's a nice option. However, don't expect be surprised by the contents of the book.
