The only problem is: how the hell do I install OpenCV so that I can use it in conjunction with a Jupyter notebook? Let’s be honest, most likely you’re either you’re using a Jupyter notebook, Spyder, or the ipython terminal (if you’re a real sadist) to test your python code. OpenCV will supply you with functions that will let you detect faces in images, track objects in a video, and perform any number of image processing tasks. OpenCV (CV = ‘computer vision’) is an excellent open source computer vision software library written in C++ that supports C++, C, Python, Java, and Matlab API’s.

Ahhh, computer vision, such a cool field! Lately, I’ve been trying to become more knowledgeable about CV and image processing in python.
