Many are working on the computer's vision power. We are well aware in today's era voice recognition is already there in other words now our computer can hear us. By the help of NLTK the hearing power and understanding the word is much improved.
By this, we are now focussing how better we can make our computer or any other machine vision improved. I got curious about this and going to invest my time in this with doing a full-time job so the process will be slow.
For start, I select Python language as it is easy to understand and there are a lot of packages available. Preparing a Linux PC with Python 3X with OpenCV and its dependency may take 2 - 3 hour depending upon your machine.
Note: Consider having PC with at least 4gb RAM, not because it is Python won't support less RAM but the thing we are going to do may need RAM, plus Python is a scripting language it is slow as compare to other but efficient and easy.
Let's start:
Requirements:
1) Python3X
2) OpenCV
Python3X
On Ubuntu machine, Python3 will be preinstalled as there are many OS files which are dependent on Python3X as well as Python2X. Saying this please don't try to remove any of the Python version and be sure the package you try to use should support.
1) How to check the Python version:
Open terminal (ctrl+atl+T)
Type "python3" hit enter
Type "exit()" to return to prompt
** As per today I have 3.6.5 Python version
2) How to install pip:
Type "sudo apt-get install python3-pip" give Admin password and hit enter
OpenCV
OpenCV-Python can be installed in Ubuntu in two ways:
1) Install from pre-built binaries available in Ubuntu repositories
2) Compile from the source.

Congratulations! if this is done.
