If you are a Java developer, student, researcher, or hobbyist wanting to create computer vision applications in Java then this book is for you. If you are an experienced C/C++ developer who is used to working with OpenCV, you will also find this book very useful for migrating your applications to Java.
Daniel Lélis Baggio has started his works in computer vision through medical image processing at InCor (Instituto do Coração – Heart Institute) in São Paulo, Brazil, where he worked with intra-vascular ultrasound (IVUS) image segmentation. After that he has focused on GPGPU and ported that algorithm to work with NVidia's Cuda. He has also dived into 6 degrees of freedom head tracking with Natural User Interface group through a project called EHCI (http://code.google.com/p/ehci/ ). He also wrote “Mastering OpenCV with Practical Computer Vision Projects” from Packt Publishing.
