Where to start with Computer Vision [closed]

I am a complete newbie when it comes to computer vision.
Keeping in mind that I'm good at C++, can somebody recommend me a good book for computer vision?

The software I design shall be very efficient and fast because I'll need to scan continuously neuron pictures and so virtually create the connections between the neurons.

Take a look at these libraries:

  • http://opencv.org/
  • http://www.vlfeat.org/
  • http://libccv.org/

The OpenCV C++ API looks great, and libccv looks promising (they have a cool HTTP API feature). Currently my favorite "book" is the OpenCV documentation: http://docs.opencv.org

Greetings!

nice freebie on general cv topics : http://szeliski.org/Book/ (guy there loves to hear himself talking, but still a good read!!)

if you opt for opencv, there's the Learning Opencv book by Gary Bradsky, http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/users/vision/dipakmj/papers/OReilly%20Learning%20OpenCV.pdf (nice explanations for almost anything, but quite outdated code examples)
