OpenCV is often studied through a cookbook approach that covers a lot of algorithms but nothing about high-level application development. To an extent, this approach is understandable because OpenCV's potential applications are so diverse. OpenCV is used in a wide variety of applications: photo/video editors, motion-controlled games, a robot's AI, or psychology experiments where we log participants' eye movements. Across such different use cases, can we truly study a useful set of abstractions?
I believe we can and the sooner we start creating abstractions, the better. We will structure our study of OpenCV around a single application, but, at each step, we will design a component of this application ...
