Introduction of opencv

What is OpenCV?

OpenCV is a very powerful python library. OpenCV is used for image processing. Suppose you want to create any shape or text on the image then you will use OpenCV. To change the color format of the image, we can use OpenCV. To read image and video, or record video or capture image, we can use OpenCV. If you want to draw anything on a video or image then you can use OpenCV. You can perform crop, blur, blending, rotation, thresholding, object detection, etc on image or video using OpenCV.

If you want to work with images using python for any cases like machine learning, deep learning, etc, then you must need OpenCV. So learning OpenCV is very important. In data science, we work with images. So a data scientist should learn OpenCV.
