Synopsis

Key Features

• Efficiently harness iOS and OpenCV to capture and process high-quality images at high speed
• Develop photographic apps and augmented reality apps quickly and easily
• Detect, recognize, and morph faces and objects

Book Description

iOS 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 book's four projects, you will be a well-rounded iOS developer with valuable experience in OpenCV.

What you will learn

• Use Xcode and Interface Builder to develop iOS apps
• Obtain OpenCV's standard modules and build extra modules from source
• Control all the parameters of the iOS device's camera
• Capture, save, and share photos and videos
• Analyze colors, shapes, and textures in ordinary and specialized photographs
• Blend and compare images to create special photographic effects and augmented reality tools
• Detect faces and morph facial features
• Classify coins and other objects
