+### Opencv
+
+OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision. 
+Originally developed by Intel, it was later supported by Willow Garage then Itseez (which was later acquired by Intel). 
+Opencv currently supports wide variety of languages like, C++, Python, Java etc
+
+#### Installation
+Please refer to these articles for installation of OpenCV on your computer.

+### Here we will be focusing on python implementation of OpenCV
+
+```python
+# Reading image in OpenCV
+import cv2
+img = cv2.imread('cat.jpg')
+
+# Displaying the image
+# imshow() function is used to display the image
+cv2.imshow('Image',img)
+# Your first arguement is the title of the window and second parameter is image
+# If you are getting error, Object Type None, your image path may be wrong. Please recheck the pack to the image
+cv2.waitKey(0)
+# waitKey() is a keyboard binding function and takes arguement in milliseconds. For GUI events you MUST use waitKey() function.
+
+# Writing an image
+cv2.imwrite('catgray.png',img)
+# first arguement is the file name and second is the image
+
+# Convert image to grayscale
+gray_image = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
+
+# Capturing Video from Webcam
+cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
+#0 is your camera, if you have multiple camera, you need to enter their id

+    _, frame = cap.read()
+    cv2.imshow('Frame',frame)
+    # When user presses q -> quit
+    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
+        break
+# Camera must be released
+cap.release()
+
+# Playing Video from file
+cap = cv2.VideoCapture('movie.mp4')
+while(cap.isOpened()):
