The OpenCV Library

The OpenCV Library is a

Software Library In computer science, a library is a collection of non-volatile resources used by computer programs, often for software development. These may include configuration data, documentation, help data, message templates, pre-written code and subr ...

Learning OpenCV

Originally published in 2006, the book Learning OpenCV (O'Reilly) serves as an introduction to the library and its use. A
updated version of the book
which covers OpenCV 3, was published by O'Reilly Media in 2016.

Publications

Bradski has published a wide variety of articles in computer science on the topics of computer vision and optimization. The following are his most highly cited works: * 2016 ''Learning OpenCV 3: Computer Vision in C++ with the OpenCV Library'' with Adrian Kaehler, O'Reilly Media. * 2008 ''Learning OpenCV: Computer vision with the OpenCV library'' with
