    OpenCV is an open-source library that contains algorithms for computer vision and machine learning. It is used to process images and videos to detect and recognize faces, objects, and motion. OpenCV uses machine learning algorithms and classifiers to identify patterns in images to detect complex objects like faces. It can run on Windows, Linux, and other operating systems. The document provides steps to install Python, NumPy, and OpenCV in Windows using pip for scientific computing and computer vision tasks.

    What is OpenCV?

    OpenCV is a cross-platform library using which we can develop real-time computer vision applications. It
    mainly focuses on image processing, video capture and analysis including features like face detection
    and object detection.

    OpenCV uses machine learning algorithms to search for faces within a picture. Because faces are so
    complicated, there isn’t one simple test that will tell you if it found a face or not. Instead, there are
    thousands of small patterns and features that must be matched. The algorithms break the task of
    identifying the face into thousands of smaller, bite-sized tasks, each of which is easy to solve. These
    tasks are also called classifiers.

    Computer Vision : Computer Vision can be defined as a discipline that explains how to
    reconstruct, interrupt, and understand a 3D scene from its 2D images, in terms of the properties of the
    structure present in the scene. It deals with modeling and replicating human vision using computer
    software and hardware.

    Features of OpenCV Library


    Using OpenCV library, you can −

     Read and write images

     Capture and save videos

     Process images (filter, transform)

     Perform feature detection

     Detect specific objects such as faces, eyes, cars, in the videos or images.

     Analyze the video, i.e., estimate the motion in it, subtract the background, and track objects in
    it.

    OpenCV was originally developed in C++. In addition to it, Python and Java bindings were provided.
    OpenCV runs on various Operating Systems such as windows, Linux, OSx, FreeBSD, Net BSD, Open BSD,
    etc
    Before we install the open cv in our working environment we need to install the python and numpy.

    Installing Python in windows:


    Step1: Download the python 3 installer
    First we need to download the installer from the official website. The download page for Windows at
    python.org.

    Underneath the heading at the top that says Python Releases for Windows, click on the link for the
    Latest Python 3 Release - Python 3.x.x.

    Scroll to the bottom and select either Windows x86-64 executable installer for 64-bit or Windows x86
    executable installer for 32-bit.

    Step2: Run the Installer

    Once the download is finished, simply run it by double-clicking on the downloaded file. A dialog should
    appear that looks something like this:
    Fig: Install successful

    After install python successfully now we can check the python in Command Prompt(CMD).

    Fig: Checking pyhton

    Installing numpy In windows:


    NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.

    First we need to check whether numpy package is install or not. To check this Open CMD then type

    Python

    Import numpy

    If the result is like this picture that means our pc don’t have numpy package. So we need to install the
    package.

    Installing via pip:


    Open CMD as administrator then
    we can install packages via commands such as:
    python -m pip install numpy
    it will be shown like this picture

    Fig: install numpy

    Install Opencv 4:
    We are going to use pip install method.

    Open CMD as administrator.

    Use command: pip install opencv-python


    Fig: install opencv

    Now check the opencv version

    Use command:

    import cv2

    print(cv2.__version__)
