The_OpenCV_Play

About :

The repository is about the implementation of various OpenCV features in python. OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV-Python is the Python API of OpenCV. It combines the best qualities of OpenCV C++ API and Python language.

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open-source computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV was built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in commercial products. Right now, OpenCV supports a lot of algorithms related to Computer Vision and Machine Learning and it is expanding day-by-day.

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision.[1] Originally developed by Intel, it was later supported by Willow Garage then Itseez (which was later acquired by Intel[2]). The library is cross-platform and free for use under the open-source Apache 2 License.

Rebound the creative child within you and lets play with images , with the help of OpenCV.

How to Contribute? Let's Get Started:

Step 1. Create a Copy of this Repository

To work on an open-source project, you will first need to make your copy of the repository. To do this, you should fork the repository and then clone it so that you have a local working copy.

Fork 🍴 this repo. Click on the Fork button at the top right corner.

With the repository forked, you’re ready to clone it so that you have a local working copy of the codebase.

Clone the Repository

To make your local copy of the repository you would like to contribute to, let’s first open up a terminal window.

We’ll use the git clone command along with the URL that points to your fork of the repository.

Open the Command Prompt
Type this command:

git clone https://github.com/your_username/The_OpenCV_Play

Step 2: Creating a New Branch

It is important to branch the repository so that you can manage the workflow, isolate your code, and control what features make it back to the main branch of the project repository.

When creating a branch, you must create your new branch off of the master branch. To create a new branch, from your terminal window, follow:

git branch new_branch_name
git checkout new_branch_name

Note: Your branch name should be your_enrollment_number/feature_name. For example, if your enrollment number is IIT2020001 and you are adding feature Face-Detection then your brance name should be IIT2020001/Face_Detection.

Once you enter the git checkout command, you will receive the following output:

Switched to branch 'new_branch_name'

Step 3: Contribute:

Make relevant changes. Add new feature using OpenCV in Python. Contribute in any way you feel like :)

Step 4: Commiting and Pushing:

Once you have modified an existing file or added a new file to the project, you can add it to your local repository, which we can do with the git add command.

git add filename or git add .

You can type the command git add -A or alternatively git add -all for all new files to be staged.

With our file staged, we’ll want to record the changes that we made to the repository with the git commit command.

The commit message is an important aspect of your code contribution; it helps the other contributors fully understand the change you have made, why you made it, and how significant it is.

git commit -m "commit message"

At this point you can use the git push command to push the changes to the current branch of your forked repository:

git push --set-upstream origin new-branch

Step 5: Create Pull Request

At this point, you are ready to make a pull request to the original repository.

You should navigate to your forked repository, and press the “Compare & pull request” button on the page.

GitHub will alert you that you can merge the two branches because there is no competing code. You should add in a title, a comment, and then press the “Create pull request” button.
