Camera + python

Hi everyone, when I hear python the first thing that comes to my mind is programs that detect body movement and position (like a workout) with a camera or a program that counts how many red cars passed by... Etc, I don't know exactly what this field is called but I want to learn it and use it, so if anyone knows what I am thinking about, I Will be more than grateful to know what to look for or any learning source/recommendations (yt tutorial/ free courses or even books if helpful)

I think you're imagining "Computer Vision".

There is also a popular library called "OpenCV" which has probably been used in the examples you're thinking of.
