Course Content
This course covers everything you need to know to become an expert in computer vision! You’ll start the course by learning about numerical processing and image manipulation with the NumPy library. The course will teach you how to use the OpenCV library to open and work with image basics to understand how to process images and apply a variety of effects, including color mappings, blending, thresholds, gradients, and more. After covering images, you’ll learn video basics with OpenCV, including working with streaming video, optical flow and object detection, including face detection and object tracking. The latest and more advanced deep learning topics will be covered as well including image recognition, custom image classifications, and the YOLO (you only look once) deep learning network.

Intermediate to experienced Python developers seeking to use Python for image and video data with a focus on the OpenCV library
Course Description
OpenCV, once released by INTEL to benchmark their processors, comes with a huge array of functionality, even deep learning-based, and allows for efficient image processing and computer vision. Tracking, Object Detection, Facial Recognition, and much more – all in one library. Understanding how to work with image and video data is becoming vital in modern applications. The most popular platforms in the world are generating never before seen amounts of image and video data. Every 60 seconds users upload more than 300 hours of video to Youtube, Netflix subscribers stream over 80,000 hours of video, and Instagram users like over 2 million photos!
