    About this ebook

    OpenCV 3.0 Computer Vision with Java is a practical tutorial guide that explains fundamental tasks from computer vision while focusing on Java development. This book will teach you how to set up OpenCV for Java and handle matrices using the basic operations of image processing such as filtering and image transforms. It will also help you learn how to use Haar cascades for tracking faces and to detect foreground and background regions with the help of a Kinect device. It will even give you insights into server-side OpenCV. Each chapter is presented with several projects that are ready to use. The functionality of these projects is found in many classes that allow developers to understand computer vision principles and rapidly extend or customize the projects for their needs.

    Daniel Lélis Baggio

    Daniel Lelis Baggio started his work in computer vision through medical image processing at InCor (Instituto do Coracao - Heart Institute) in Sao Paulo, where he worked with intra-vascular ultrasound image segmentation. Since then, he has focused on GPGPU and ported the segmentation algorithm to work with NVIDIA's CUDA. He has also dived into six degrees of freedom head tracking with a natural user interface group through a project called ehci (http://code.google.com/p/ehci/). He now works for the Brazilian Air Force

      Acknowledgment

      I'd first like to thank God for all the opportunities He has given me as well as for giving me our happy family.

      I'd certainly like to thank Professor Sergio Furuie for introducing me to this wonderful world of computer vision. I'd also like to thank Professor Carlos Henrique Forster for his courses on the subject.

      A big thanks goes to all the reviewers of this book, who took their time to put constructive and interesting corrections to its contents.

      I would also like to thank the people from Packt Publishing—especially Parag Topre, Nikhil Potdukhe, Sriram Neelakantan, Harsha Bharwani, Sageer Parkar, and Nadeem Bagban—without whom, this book would never have been finished. I would also like to thank them for their patience.

      I would like to thank my parents, who brought me into this world and educated me. I also thank my brother for always being there for me.

      I dedicate this book to my children, who will always be part of my heart.

      I'd also like to thank my wife for supporting me day and night in our life's journey.

      About the Reviewers

      Ngoc Dao studied computer vision at the Computer Vision and Image Media Lab of the University of Tsukuba, Japan. He has created several high-speed and scalable image matching server systems using Scala, Akka, and MongoDB with OpenCV's Java binding. These systems can scale multiple machines and have successfully been used with many iOS and Android apps.

      Other than computer vision, Ngoc is also interested in real-time distributed systems and web frameworks. He is the main author of Xitrum, which is an open source async and clustered web framework for Scala (http://xitrum-framework.github.io). He presented this framework at the Scala Matsuri 2014 conference in Tokyo (http://scalamatsuri.org/en/program/index.html).

      I would like to thank Professor Yuichi Ohta, Professor Yoshinari Kameda, and Professor Kitahara Itaru at the University of Tsukuba. They taught me a lot about computer vision.

      Dileep Kumar Kotha currently works as a senior software engineer at a telecom firm in Bangalore, India. He is an undergraduate in computer science from the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, 2012 batch. He started working on image processing during his summer internship at the prestigious IIT Kharagpur and has continued working with OpenCV on Linux machines ever since. Currently, he successfully manages a blog on OpenCV for beginners, which you can find at http://opencvuser.blogspot.in/.

      I would like to thank Packt Publishing for giving me the opportunity to review this book and Judie for bearing the delays in the completion of my reviews.

      Domenico Luciani is a passionate 22-year-old programmer. He currently works as a software engineer for some companies and is studying computer science at the University of Palermo, Italy.

      He is a computer vision enthusiast and loves security and often pentests too; he also takes part in bounty programs for many companies. He has worked with many technologies in the past, such as MongoDB, Node.js, PHP, PostgreSQL, and C. He makes many Node.js modules that he successfully publishes on the NPM website. He collaborated as a reviewer on a published BDD test using a JavaScript book. He studies the Go language (golang) just for fun.

      He owns a Raspberry Pi. He loves writing code using vim and manages it with Git. He also writes tests and collaborates with various open source projects on the Web.

      In his free time, he likes running and playing Parkour. You can find out more about him at http://dlion.it.

      Sebastian Montabone is a computer engineer with a master's of science degree in computer vision. He has worked in areas, such as intelligent IP cameras for automated surveillance, data mining, 3D sensors, game development, and embedded devices.

      He is the author of Beginning Digital Image Processing: Using Free Tools for Photographers, Apress. He has also written scientific articles and a computer vision video course OpenCV Computer Vision Application Programming, Packt Publishing.

      Preface

      Living in times when self-driving vehicles are becoming a reality might trigger curious minds as to how could computers' incipient vision works. Having a face recognized for access control, getting our pictures automatically organized by a subject or person, and having characters automatically recognized from paper scans are tasks that have become common in our lives. All these aforementioned actions have been enlisted in the so-called study area of computer vision.

      As a scientific discipline, the theory behind systems that can extract information from images can be described as computer vision, and it has been adopted to extract valuable measurements from medical images, as well as to help humans delineate the boundaries of important image areas in the so-called semi-automatic procedures.

      In the context of providing a simple-to-use computer vision infrastructure to help people rapidly build sophisticated vision applications, an open source library was created: OpenCV. It was designed for real-time applications and is written in C++, containing several hundred computer vision algorithms.

      Although OpenCV had its debut alpha release back in January 1999, it was only in February 2013 that it officially supported desktop Java through bindings. As this is one of the most popular introductory teaching languages adopted in computer science departments as well as K-12 computer-related courses, it is important to have a good reference for how to build vision apps in a Java environment.

      This book covers the basic OpenCV computer vision algorithms and their integration with Java. As the Swing GUI widget toolkit is widely adopted to build GUIs in Java, in this book, you will benefit from the chapters that deal with this topic as well as come to know how to set up your development environment that deals with native code bindings. Besides, operations such as stretching, shrinking, warping, and rotating, as well as finding edges, lines, and circles are all covered through interesting and practical sample projects in this book.

      As the Kinect device has become a great tool for background segmentation, we have covered
