Computer vision is an interdisciplinary scientific field that deals with how computers can be made to gain high-level understanding from digital images or videos. OpenCV(open source computer vision library) is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV was build to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in the commercial products. In this blog, we will learn how we can install OpenCV python on windows. Following are the topics discussed in this article:

What Is OpenCV?

OpenCv is a python library which is used for real time computer vision. The Library has more than 2500 optimized algorithms, which includes a comprehensive set of both classic and state-of-the art computer vision and machine learning algorithms.

Being a BSD-licensed product, OpenCV makes it easy for businesses to modify or optimize the code.

OpenCV has more than 47 thousand people of user community and estimated number of downloads exceeding 18 million. The library is used extensively in companies , research groups and by government bodies.
