Firstly, I would like to thank my girlfriend and family for supporting me through the long
journey of writing my first computer vision-based book. They stood by me at every step of
the way. Secondly, I would like to thank the OpenCV Q&A community who have been
supporting me with all the technical problems that arose while writing this book.
Quan Hua is a software engineer at Autonomous, a start-up company in robotics, where
he focuses on developing computer vision and machine learning applications for personal
robots. He earned a bachelor of science degree from the University of Science, Vietnam,
specializing in computer vision, and published a research paper in CISIM 2014. As the
owner of Quan404.com, he also blogs about various computer vision techniques to share
his experience with the community.
I wish to thank everyone who has encouraged me on the way while writing this book.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to my coauthors, editors, and reviewers for their
advice and assistance. Thank you, Neha Bhatnagar, Harsha Bharwani, and Merwyn
D’souza for giving me a golden opportunity to join this project.
I would like to thank the members of my family and my girlfriend, Kim Ngoc, who
supported and encouraged me in spite of all the time it took me away from them. They all
kept me going, and this book would not have been possible without them.
I would also like to thank my teachers who gave me the knowledge in computer vision
and machine learning.
Utkarsh Sinha lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he is pursuing a master’s in
computer vision at Carnegie Mellon University. He intends to learn the state of the art of
computer vision at the university and work on real-life industrial scale computer vision
challenges.
Before joining CMU, he worked as a Technical Director at Dreamworks Animation on
movies such as Home, How to Train your Dragon 2, and Madagascar 3. His work spans
multiple movies and multiple generations of graphics technology.
He earned his bachelor of engineering degree in computer science and his master of
science degree in mathematics from BITS-Pilani, Goa. He has been working in the field of
computer vision for about 6 years as a consultant and as a software engineer at start-ups.
He blogs at http://utkarshsinha.com/ about various topics in technology—most of which
revolve around computer vision. He also publishes computer vision tutorials on the
Internet through his website, AI Shack (http://aishack.in/). His articles help people
understand concepts in computer vision every day.
I would like to thank my parents for supporting me through the long journey of writing my
first book on computer vision. Without them, this book wouldn’t have been possible.
I am indebted to the technical reviewers and editors who have helped polish the book to be
what it is now. Their efforts have really brought the book together—thinking of aspects
