Learning Opencv 3 Computer Vision With Python 2nd Edition

Firstly, the URL on the first page doesn't work. This link is supposed to be to a download of a VM with all the necessary software already configured, but takes you to a page that simply says the author hasn't found a free hosting service for the file. I complained to the publisher and got no response.Secondly, the book says it is for python novices, yet immediately dives into looking at image files as arrays.Thirdly, because I could not use the VM, the only way I could get the opencv to work seems to not like some of the commands listed in the book.Highly frustrating and felt like it was a waste of my money and time

This book is a great introduction to both computer vision in general, and OpenCV in Python in particular, but even people familiar with computer vision methods will find it useful to learn how to implement them in the Python ecosystem or how to optimize function parameters. An introductory to intermediate command of Python is assumed. The author's present the different concepts within the context of developing an application, and while the book doesn't follow the cookbook format, by the end you will still have a group of very useful scripts that can easily be applied to other projects. The presentation of the programming scripts is detailed and easy to follow. The authors have taken great care to build the complexity of the scripts slowly and without gaps in the sequencing. The use of each script is very well illustrated with images along the book. My only complaint is that the book is still based on Python 2.7, but the code doesn't seem to require many modifications to run in Python 3

The book attempts to provide an introduction to computer vision with opencv. However, the code is incomplete, and the book is hard to follow. I would not recommend this book for beginners who try to learn opencv with python.

Really poor. No one revised the book. Instructions and links don't work. And there is no orientation regarding what to do when things go wrong. I'm be better just googling everything or using free OpenCV docs. Waste of money. Not sure if Amazon accepts returns.

I didn`t like the book. The source code is incomplete. There are some mistakes in the code. I gave up the book and gave up Python too.

Learning OpenCV 3 Computer Vision with Python - Second EditionI have done programming in python and was interested in learning OpenCV. This book did great job in introducing the basic computer Vision programming using python. OpenCV 3 is a computer vision library that is used for a variety of image and video processing operations. Some advance features such as face recognition or object tracking, are easily achievable with OpenCV 3.Overall, I found the book was easy to follow and it even included code examples from the book.
