Recipe Objective: What is OpenCV? How to install it in Python?

Let us begin to learn one of the most famous libraries in Python called the OpenCV. OpenCV

OpenCV is a free computer vision library that was created at Intel in 1999. It supports various languages like C++, Java, Python, etc., But in this series of recipes, we work with OpenCV using Python

Before we understand what OpenCV is, let us try to understand what computer vision is. Computer vision is an area of science that deals with processing multimedia and digital data such as images and videos and extract information from them.

OpenCV helps in computer vision for building python apps to extract data from images and videos. With the help of OpenCV, most complex use cases like Object detection and Object recognition can be done very easily.

Installing OpenCV

To install OpenCV for Python, we will have to type the following command in our command prompt.

pip install opencv-python

Alternatively, if we want to install OpenCV in Anaconda, we can use the following command in Anaconda Prompt.

conda install -c menpo opencv
