Gary Bradski is an American scientist, engineer, entrepreneur, and author. He co-founded Industrial Perception, a company that developed perception applications for industrial robotic application (since acquired by Google in 2012 ^[2]) and has worked on the OpenCV Computer Vision library, as well as published a book on that library.^[3]

Education

Ph.D., Cognitive and Neural Systems (mathematical modeling of biological perception) May, 1994,Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems.
BS degree in EECS from U.C. Berkeley

The OpenCV Library

The OpenCV Library is a Computer Vision Software Library.

Learning OpenCV

Originally published in 2006, the book Learning OpenCV (O'Reilly) serves as an introduction to the library and its use. An updated version of the book], which covers OpenCV 3, was published by O'Reilly Media in 2016.

Publications

Bradski has published a wide variety of articles in computer science on the topics of computer vision and optimization. The following are his most highly cited works:^[4]
