Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The code for build_sample_image() is provided next."

A block of code is set as follows:

 channels = cv2.split(img)
    eq_channels = []
    for ch in channels:
        eq_channels.append(cv2.equalizeHist(ch))

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

Hu moments (original): '[ 1.92801772e-01 1.01173781e-02 5.70258405e-05 1.96536742e-06 2.46949980e-12 -1.88337981e-07 2.06595472e-11]'

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ mkdir opencv-project
$ cd opencv-project

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."
