New in OpenCV? So do I …

I am currently playing with very new filed for me, Computer Vision. I have no background at all within this field before. But because something and another thing, whether i want or i do not want to, i have to learn this computer vision.

What is Computer Vision? Roughly meaning of computer vision is an approach  or technique to make computer or machine able to see like human does. Usually computer vision uses camera as the main sensory input.

OpenCV is an opensource C++ library that consist of more than hundred functions for real time computer vision processing.  Tody, openCV has active development on interfaces for phyton, ruby, matlab, and other languages. More information get be read from:

opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/

for download:

sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/2.1/

and installations guide:

opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/InstallGuide

The best book to be read as reference and tutorial:

www.amazon.com/Learning-OpenCV-Computer-Vision-Library/dp/0596516134/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288184991&sr=8-1

I’ll come back later with more knowledge that i have learned. Hope it can be helpful.
