Overview
In this project case study, I will be sharing my experience designing and developing OpenCV Playground, an interactive web application for experimenting with OpenCV functions.
The goal was to create a platform that simplifies the process of applying OpenCV techniques, enabling users to visualize the effects of various image processing functions in real time without writing code.
Throughout the development process, I prioritized building a seamless and engaging interface that makes OpenCV accessible to both beginners and professionals, while focusing on functionality, responsiveness, and performance

Breaking down the project
Understanding User Needs
The development process began with identifying the common challenges faced by users when working with OpenCV, including a lack of resources for hands-on experimentation and difficulties in understanding how various functions work. To address these issues, I aimed to design a tool that enables users to explore OpenCV without requiring any prior coding knowledge.
Building on strong foundations
After gathering user insights, I created a straightforward design roadmap. The interface was developed using Streamlit, providing a clean, interactive platform for users to upload images and apply OpenCV functions from a dropdown menu. Each function’s output could be visualized in real time, helping users grasp the effects of transformations such as thresholding, blurring, and edge detection.
Collaborating with the internal team
I tested the platform with students and developers to gather feedback on usability and performance. Their suggestions helped me refine the UI, add relevant features, and ensure that the platform met user expectations.
Outcome
The final outcome of OpenCV Playground was an interactive, user-friendly web application that allowed users to experiment with OpenCV functions effortlessly.
Users could upload images, apply various image processing techniques, and visualize the results instantly, all within a seamless and intuitive experience. This significantly reduced the barriers to learning OpenCV, making it an excellent resource for beginners and enthusiasts.
