iOS Application Development with OpenCV 3

iOS Application Development with OpenCV 3

<h4>Key Features</h4><ul><li>Efficiently harness iOS and OpenCV to capture and process high-quality images at high speed</li><li>Develop photographic apps and augmented reality apps quickly and easily</li><li>Detect, recognize, and morph faces and objects</li></ul><h4>Book Description</h4><p>iOS Application Development with OpenCV 3 enables you to turn your smartphone camera into an advanced tool for photography and computer vision. Using the highly optimized OpenCV library, you will process high-resolution images in real time. You will locate and classify objects, and create models of their geometry. As you develop photo and augmented reality apps, you will gain a general understanding of iOS frameworks and developer tools, plus a deeper understanding of the camera and image APIs.</p><p>After completing the book's four projects, you will be a well-rounded iOS developer with valuable experience in OpenCV.</p><h4>What you will learn</h4><ul><li>Use Xcode and Interface Builder to develop iOS apps</li><li>Obtain OpenCV's standard modules and build extra modules from source</li><li>Control all the parameters of the iOS device's camera</li><li>Capture, save, and share photos and videos</li><li>Analyze colors, shapes, and textures in ordinary and specialized photographs</li><li>Blend and compare images to create special photographic effects and augmented reality tools</li><li>Detect faces and morph facial features</li><li>Classify coins and other objects</li></ul><h4>About the Author</h4><p><b>Joseph Howse</b> lives in Canada. During the cold winters, he grows a beard and his four cats grow thick coats of fur. He combs the cats every day. Sometimes the cats pull his beard.</p><p>Joseph has been writing for Packt Publishing since 2012. His books include OpenCV for Secret Agents, OpenCV 3 Blueprints, Android Application Programming with OpenCV 3, iOS Application Development with OpenCV 3, Learning OpenCV 3 Computer Vision with Python, and Python Game Programming by Example.</p><p>When he is not writing books or grooming cats, Joseph provides consulting, training, and software development services through his company, Nummist Media (http://nummist.com/).</p><h4>Table of Contents</h4><ol><li>Setting Up Software and Hardware</li><li>Capturing, Storing, and Sharing Photos</li><li>Blending Images</li><li>Detecting and Merging Faces of Mammals</li><li>Classifying Coins and Commodities</li></ol>
