An Introduction to Computer Vision in JavaScript using OpenCV.js

Updated on October 20, 2020
πŸ‘ An Introduction to Computer Vision in JavaScript using OpenCV.js

Introduction

OpenCV, or Open Source Computer Vision Library, is a powerful library used for image processing and image recognition. The library has a massive community and has been used extensively in many fields, from face detection to interactive art. It was first built in C++, but bindings have been created for different languages, such as Python and Java. It is even available in JavaScript as OpenCV.js, which is what we’ll be using for this tutorial.

In this project, we will create a webpage where a user can upload an image in order to detect all the circles contained in it. We will highlight the circles with a black outline, and the user will be able to download the modified image.

The code for this project is available in this GitHub repo.
