If you are a serious computer vision researcher, you should consider to read this book.
I started to use OpenCV since its beta version, and now I am still using the latest version.
OpenCV helps me a lot in building real-time application that requires fast computation.
Five stars for OpenCV authors, thanks for sharing a useful software and book for the rest of us

Complete material of what is OpenCV. The programming of computer vision. Theory, basis, implementation, and it's explanation. Including viewed from the physics science, it's describing it with a simple way but clear enough.

Good book, but there are a lot of important things which are skimmed. The book has few examples and is a little confusing for beginners.

[Xianshun Chen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very easy to understand book on computer vision which uses the OpenCV library to develop computer vision and learning applications

meh. Good reference. The title is very misleading. This book is not so great for the first time user to "learn" OpenCV.

[Wooi Hen Yap]

A definitive guidebook for OpenCV users. Straight to the working computer vision application rather than formal explanation. One word.. good.

It was an ok introduction back when I read it, but new, matlab inspired, C++ API of OpenCV 2.0 weren't around back then, so the code samples are to a great extent outdated.

Very good handbook for OpenCV library and good introduction in computer vision aspects.

[Michał Maciejewski · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quite tough to make through, but provides plenty of useful information in computer vision subject. From basics to advanced level.

[Victor · Rating 3 out of 5]

the only problems is that it only introduces the C API, not the C++. Apart from that, good introduction.

[James Schultz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is THE classic OpenCV compendium. However, a lot has changed with the OpenCV library and community, therefore the code now is a bit antiquated.

Excelent!!!!

Like most O'Reilly books, I found this one good and it made the topic approachable.
