Take a second to look at the Jurassic Park movie poster above. What are the dominant colors? (i.e. the colors that are represented most in the image) Well, we see that the background is largely black. There is some red…

Here we are, the final step of building a real-life Pokedex in Python and OpenCV. This is where it all comes together. We’ll glue all our pieces together and put together an image search engine based on shape features. We…

Update: Dec 2022 It’s been a long time since we first published this post. We now have two Python educational products to choose from. Computer Vision with Python Book Comprehensive Introduction To Python Program We’re not even halfway through 2014…

We’re getting closer to finishing up our real-life Pokedex! In my previous blog post, I showed you how to find a Game Boy screen in an image using Python and OpenCV. This post will show you how to apply warping…

So, how is our Pokedex going to “know” what Pokemon is in an image? How are we going to describe each Pokemon? Are we going to characterize the color of the Pokemon? The texture? Or the shape? Well, do you…

I’ve been throwing around the idea of writing a book for the past few months, but I wasn’t sure on what the exact focus was going to be. I’ve given it a ton of thought, worked out the specifics, and…

Are you ready to start building your first image search engine? Not so fast! Let’s first go over some basic image processing and manipulations that will come in handy along your image search engine journey. If you are already an…

When I first became interested in computer vision and image search engines over eight years ago, I had no idea where to start. I didn’t know which language to use, I didn’t know which libraries to install, and the libraries…
