These complex sort of projects are the ones that could really do with small neat introductionary blog posts where simple features are demoed with code demonstrations..etc. this is so much more needed than more ruminations on JS libraries but also so much harder work for the blog authors I guess!

  That is good stuff but no: what I am after is blog posts that are editorially aimed at drawing the reader into the subject and then making something of practical/genuine value happen. There is many tutorials presented on OpenCV's page and I'm by no means judging all of them but many of them do seem to fall into 2 discreet categories, either a) extremely simple ( http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/load_save_image/load_save_image.html http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/load_save_... ) or b) extremely complex ( http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/ml/non_linear_svms/non_linear_svms.html http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/ml/non_linear_svms/non_... ). Neither is very exciting/accommodating for someone starting out in the field.

They do have some official tutorials, but it's up to you to read the documentation and code to figure things out. It's not as bad as it sounds because everything is fairly straightforward. Bring patience, though.

  "Bring patience, though.", and that's the exact thing; when starting out with a new framework/technology/etc. I really need test examples that are digestible to get me going - the machine learning part of the tutorials: http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/ml/table_of_content_ml/table_of_content_ml.html http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/ml/table_of_content_ml/... is no doubt brilliant but it is utterly inaccessible to me without serious time input.

    I'm there with you. This thing is so complicated that it might be hard to just do an easy to follow tutorial. I've been tinkering with it for a while in a robotics application, and progress is slow (steady, though). One of those fields where the roads are still unpaved. :)
