Hi everyone, I am an undergraduate freshman. I have always been interested in Computer vision and i wanted to learn this subject in details. So, i did a little research and found that "Computer vision- Algorithms and applications by Szeliski is the best book for understanding computer vision.But i would like to ask you guys for some suggestions. I have a fairly intermediate knowledge of programming in C++ and i wanted to know if i can use c++ with Open CV library for the above mentioned book. I have no idea about using MATLAB and most people suggest MATLAB for learning computer vision. MATLAB is a bit pricy for me and i wanted to stick to C++. So, can you guys suggest me what would be a good book for a beginner like me. I would like to have a book which explains the concepts in detailed manner and has plenty of applications so that i can get a grasp of the topic.

Thanks.

Hi,

OpenCV can be used with C++, so no problem there.
I recommend to read the online documentation on the OpenCV Documentation site.
There you can find tutorials and examples.

As you say you are a newbie to C++, I recommend to first learn general C++ programming before starting with the vision part. It is much easier to find books in this area.

These days there are so much online material that buying a book has become kind of obsolete, but this is the classic C++ book.
Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup.

Here are some sites you can try:
cplusplus.com

LearnCPP.com

Walkthrough: Matrix Multiplication (can be useful to learn matrix operations)
