Introduction
This project is designed to teach you how to detect the Flappy Bird character in a video using the cv2.matchTemplate method provided by OpenCV, a powerful library for image processing and computer vision. The cv2.matchTemplate function is a useful tool for template matching, which is a technique in digital image processing for finding small parts of an image that match a template image. In this project, we'll create a Python project that applies this method to detect the Flappy Bird character in a video, making it a practical example for beginners and intermediates in Python and OpenCV.
