Instead, the computer scientists only need a photograph of the key.

In this “Sneakey” Computer Vision project, features of the key is extracted from the photograph and accordingly a duplicate of the key is produced. Most importantly, photos can be taken even 200 feet away from keys without the owners knowledge.

So it is time to blur out the your keys in the photograph, like you did for number plates, credit card numbers before publishing to facebook, flickr etc. :) )

I’ve been using OpenCV for almost 6 years up to now. It is “the” Open Source Computer Vision Library out there.

Learning OpenCV

The book includes:

  • A thorough introduction to OpenCV
  • Getting input from cameras
  • Transforming images
  • Shape matching
  • Pattern recognition, including face detection
  • Segmenting images
  • Tracking and motion in 2 and 3 dimensions
  • Machine learning algorithms
