Learning Image Processing with OpenCV

Gloria Bueno Garcia holds a PhD in machine vision from Coventry University, UK. She has experience working as the principal researcher in several research centers, such as UMR 7005 research unit CNRS/ Louis Pasteur Univ. Strasbourg (France), Gilbert Gilkes & Gordon Technology (UK), and CEIT San Sebastian (Spain). She is the author of two patents, one registered type of software, and more than 100 refereed papers. Her interests are in 2D/3D multimodality image processing and artificial intelligence. She leads the VISILAB research group at the University of Castilla-La Mancha. She has coauthored a book on OpenCV programming for mobile devices: OpenCV essentials, Packt Publishing. Oscar Deniz Suarez's research interests are mainly focused on computer vision and pattern recognition. He is the author of more than 50 refereed papers in journals and conferences. He received the runner-up award for the best PhD work on computer vision and pattern recognition by AERFAI and the Image File and Reformatting Software Challenge Award by Innocentive Inc. He has been a national finalist for the 2009 Cor Baayen award. His work is used by cutting-edge companies, such as Existor, Gliif, Tapmedia, E-Twenty, and others, and has also been added to OpenCV. Currently, he works as an associate professor at the University of Castilla-La Mancha and contributes to VISILAB. He is a senior member of IEEE and is affiliated with AAAI, SIANI, CEA-IFAC, AEPIA, and AERFAI-IAPR. He serves as an academic editor of the PLoS ONE journal. He has been a visiting researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, Imperial College London, and Leica Biosystems. He has coauthored two books on OpenCV previously. Jose Luis Espinosa Aranda holds a PhD in computer science from the University of Castilla-La Mancha. He has been a finalist for Certamen Universitario Arquimedes de Introduccion a la Investigacion cientifica in 2009 for his final degree project in Spain. His research interests involve computer vision, heuristic algorithms, and operational research. He is currently working at the VISILAB group as an assistant researcher and developer in computer vision topics.
