Publisher's Synopsis
Robot Vision with OpenCV and ROS is the ultimate guide to integrating computer vision capabilities into your robotics systems using OpenCV and the Robot Operating System (ROS). This book will help you understand how to equip your robots with the power of visual perception, enabling them to process and analyze images in real-time for smarter decision-making and enhanced automation.
From the fundamentals of computer vision to advanced techniques, this book provides a step-by-step approach to using OpenCV in conjunction with ROS. You will learn how to configure your ROS environment to support OpenCV, handle image acquisition, perform object recognition, detect motion, and apply filtering techniques-all critical skills for building intelligent, autonomous robots capable of interacting with their environment.
Whether you're building autonomous vehicles, industrial robots, or robots for research, the integration of computer vision into your ROS system will allow you to solve real-world challenges like object tracking, face recognition, and scene understanding. With hands-on examples and clear explanations, this book guides you through setting up computer vision tasks and integrating them seamlessly with robotic systems to enhance automation and navigation.
By the end of Robot Vision with OpenCV and ROS, you'll be equipped with the tools and knowledge to implement robust visual systems in your robotics projects, making them more intelligent, adaptive, and responsive to the world around them.
