OPENCV LESSON

Although OpenCV is a powerful tool which can be used to develop complex computer vision applications, the documentation of OpenCV is not enough for a newbie to learn OpenCV by himself/herself. And there are few tutorials can be found on OpenCV for beginners in the internet.  Therefore, I decided to prepare this tutorial from the very basic concepts of image processing and computer vision using basic inbuilt OpenCV functions. I have tested all given source code in this tute with openCV 2.4.5 and Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012.
