Topics include:

  • The new OpenCV 4.0 release
  • The new OpenCV foundation and audience poll for new features and foundation services
  • The nature of vision and AI and where things are going
  • How to get going with OpenCV in C++, Python, Java, and JavaScript
  • Running deep neural networks in OpenCV
  • Face detection and Face Recognition
  • Data augmentation using OpenCV
  • Image Alignment
  • Creating Panoramas
  • Object tracking
  • Computational photography
