Bounding boxes cannot answer "how much". This walkthrough runs semantic and YOLO-style instance segmentation through the OpenCV 5 DNN engine, cleans the masks with morphology and connected components, converts pixels to mm² through a calibrated scale, and sets out the area error budget and validation protocol behind the number.

Why stalled computer vision projects are almost always data problems: pHash and embedding dedup in OpenCV 5, annotation guides with a measured agreement ceiling, model pre-labelling, an uncertainty-plus-diversity active-learning loop, and a frozen golden test set that tells you when to stop paying for labels.

How to wire an OpenCV 5 pipeline into a ROS 2 Jazzy/Kilted robot stack without paying for it in copies: cv_bridge without the ABI surprises, intra-process composition, image_transport compression, deadline QoS, and a latency budget you can quote to a customer.

AI PC and edge NPUs are now the cheapest frames-per-watt you can buy, but they only accept quantised models. A practical OpenCV 5 workflow: ONNX export hygiene, post-training INT8 with a real calibration set, per-layer fallback when accuracy drops, NPU vs GPU vs CPU benchmarking, and the accept/reject report that keeps a client sign-off honest.

When the PyPI wheels stop being enough: an explicit CMake configuration, a multi-stage CUDA Dockerfile, a getBuildInformation() self-check that fails the build, realistic image sizes, NumPy/ABI traps, and the provenance bundle you hand to a client.
