OpenCV is an open-source machine learning library for Python that adds enhanced artificial intelligence capabilities in computer vision and image processing.

This course is a comprehensive introduction to building applications using OpenCV, including viewing, identifying, and editing image and video files using Python. You’ll start with an introduction to the library before immediately applying the framework to view images, video, webcam input, and text. You’ll then take your image captures and apply various edits, including decolorization, cropping, resizing, and captioning with layered text and objects. You’ll continue with basic machine learning functions, including edge, object, and face detection. With the basics in hand, you’ll wrap up with real-world projects to build document scanners and object trackers.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a working knowledge of OpenCV and machine learning. You’ll be prepared to build functional applications using the principles of computer vision in Python.

Mastering Computer Vision in Python with OpenCV


In this object tracker, we draw a tracking box around an object in the first frame of the video, and then that box will track the object. Let’s look at the code and try to understand it.

We'll first set the frame size for our video.
```
frameWidth = 480
frameHeight = 640
```


Review the steps of creating a simple object tracker.
