Abstract

In this chapter, we present the various components of the computer vision algorithms that were used for the various aspects of the project. Initially, the chapter discusses the underlying algorithms of computer vision from a mathematical standpoint. Once this aspect has been completed, the next step would be to demonstrate to the reader how we incorporated the algorithms to fir the specific problem that the research project intended to solve.
