Note: You should already have basic experience with OpenCV and C/C++ before reading this book, as this book does not explain the basics of OpenCV and it
assumes you already have it installed. For example, you could read the “Learning OpenCV” book and/or the “OpenCV 2 Cookbook” to learn the basics of OpenCV, then read this “Mastering OpenCV” book for more advanced skills and project ideas!
