Before diving into OpenCV, it's essential to build a strong foundation in programming, particularly in Python or C++. These languages are widely used for working with OpenCV. Familiarity with basic programming concepts like loops, conditionals, and functions is crucial. You should also understand fundamental image processing concepts, such as how images are represented as arrays of pixels and basic operations like resizing, cropping, and color manipulation. Learning some mathematics, such as linear algebra (for transformations), basic geometry (for shapes and edges), and matrix operations, will also be beneficial. A basic understanding of machine learning can provide additional context when integrating OpenCV with AI frameworks.
