Is there a particularly good book that you could recommend on learning OpenCV? I have been wanting to try this for a while now, but have unfortunately never found the time.

The book Mastering OpenCV helped me a bunch several years ago during implementation. The best advice I can give along with this book is to try and understand the fundamental geometric problem that computer vision tries to solve. It's been the same for like 30-50 years...we've just thrown some ML at it for these past 10-20. For that, I recommend a copy of Trucco and Veri's book that you can probably find floating around online (link below). Good luck!

The "official" O'Reilly books are pretty good, Learning OpenCV by Kaehler and Bradski (I say official because Gary Bradski was one of the original maintainers). Make sure you get the new one for OpenCV 3. They cover a lot of the algorithms behind the code which is nice.
There's also https://www.pyimagesearch.com/ which is great. It's ultimately a hook to get you to buy the course, and I think the teaching style may put off some people, but everything is thorouhgly explained and there's a lot of cool mini projects.
