Question

I am very interesting in getting into graphics programming and Image processing. I am intrigued by some programs I’ve seen such as QR scanners that can take an image from a camera and do something with it, but I don’t necessarily know where to start learning things like this. I know a decent amount of java after taking a course on the language and know the basics of c++, but am still learning and I am not opposed to having to learn a new language and start from scratch to get into this sort of thing. Is there any existing text or tutorial that does a fairly decent job of pointing an individual in the right direction to get started working with computer image processing?

Answer 1

After google-ing more about what @paddy mentioned in the comments, I’ve decided OpenCV is the way to go for me.
