Finally, I got through the installation and decided on writing a tutorial which had the precise steps to install OpenCV on Mac OS X that should help anyone looking to install OpenCV on their Mac OS X’s without any hassle or confusion.

This led me to OpenCV which is an open source computer vision library available for various platforms Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.īut before I could start playing around with OpenCV, I had to first install it on my Macbook which was supposed to be easy but while going through different tutorials, 5 to be accurate it became clear that each tutorial was missing one or the other critical step which was preventing me to complete the OpenCV installation. Recently I came across a work related opportunity to implement a prototype application based on computer vision and object recognition. Computer Vision is like deep space, the more you learn about it you realise the field is vast, mesmerising and will leave you in awe of what can be achieved.
