Python Game Programming By Example

Summary

While analyzing a game of checkers, we encountered several fundamental aspects of computer vision in the following tasks:

• Capturing images from a camera
• Performing computations on color and grayscale data
• Detecting and recognizing a set of features (the corners of the board's squares)
• Tracking movements of the features
• Simulating a different perspective (a bird's-eye view of the board)
• Classifying the regions of the image (the contents of the board's squares)

We also set up and used OpenCV and other libraries. Having built a complete application using these libraries, you are in a better position to understand the potential of computer vision and plan further studies and projects in this field.
