Is there a book specifically written for OpenCV 2.2?

Question

I found a book for OpenCV, but OpenCV Training is all I can find. Unfortunately, the book was written for OpenCV 1.1 and is completely outdated. So I searched in Stackoverflow and found this thread. After reading the topic, I understand that I can still learn OpenCV from the book, but I'm afraid that the differences in code between OpenCV 1.1 and 2.2 will make learning OpenCV disappointing, especially for a beginner like me. I'm currently on a book or training website specifically written for OpenCV 2.2, so I can keep track of the code in the book and get started easily.

By the way, I would like to know which language integrates best with OpenCV? I am wondering if Emgu uses CV (OpenCV for .net) with C # .net a good choice? Thanks!

Answer 1

OpenCV 2 Computer Vision Application Programming Cookbook published in June 2011. It covers the new C ++ APIs, so that may be what you are looking for.

Answer 2

No, OpenCV training is closest to OpenCV's structured exposure. But you can still use the methods and functions (slightly changing the names of the functions) described in the OpenCV 2.2 book with the OpenCV 2.1 documentation .

Answer 3

If you are a beginner, you should first get a basic understanding of Computer Vision themes, and then start exploring a cv library such as openCV.

To have a general idea for Computer Vision "Learning Opencv" is a good starting point and you can directly explore the new opencv and unit test examples.

Emgu CV is a good choice if you are new to Java

Answer 4

Learning the OpenCV book has recently been updated to version 2.4 of OpenCV. Here is the link . There is also a good reference guide for OpenCV version 2.4.2 here [pdf] .
