iOS Application Development with OpenCV 3 by Joseph Howse

Key FeaturesEfficiently harness iOS and OpenCV to capture and process high-quality images at high speedDevelop photographic apps and augmented reality apps quickly and easilyDetect, recognize, and morph faces and objectsBook DescriptioniOS 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.After completing the books four projects, you will be a well-rounded iOS developer with valuable experience in OpenCV.What you will learnUse Xcode and Interface Builder to develop iOS appsObtain OpenCVs standard modules and build extra modules from sourceControl all the parameters of the iOS devices cameraCapture, save, and share photos and videosAnalyze colors, shapes, and textures in ordinary and specialized photographsBlend and compare images to create special photographic effects and augmented reality toolsDetect faces and morph facial featuresClassify coins and other objectsAbout the AuthorJoseph Howse 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.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.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/).Table of ContentsSetting Up Software and HardwareCapturing, Storing, and Sharing PhotosBlending ImagesDetecting and Merging Faces of MammalsClassifying Coins and Commodities
