Yes, computers can see too. Want to know how? This course will not just show you how but equip you with skills to implement your own ideas. Let’s get started!
This course is a blend of text, videos, code examples, and assessments, which together makes your learning journey all the more exciting and truly rewarding. It includes sections that form a sequential flow of concepts covering a focused learning path presented in a modular manner. This helps you learn a range of topics at your own speed and also move towards your goal of building cool computer vision applications with OpenCV.
OpenCV is a cross-platform, free-to-use library that is primarily used for real-time computer vision and image processing. It is considered to be one of the best open source libraries that helps developers focus on constructing complete projects on image processing, motion detection, and image segmentation.
This course has been prepared using extensive research and curation skills. Each section adds to the skills learned and helps us to achieve mastery in developing computer vision applications using OpenCV. Every section is modular and can be used as a standalone resource too. This course has been designed to teach you OpenCV through the use of projects and learning recipes, and equip you with skills to develop your own cool applications. This course will take you through the commonly used Computer Vision techniques to build your own OpenCV projects from scratch.
Starting with the installation of OpenCV on your system and understanding the basics of image processing, we will swiftly move on to creating optical flow video analysis or text recognition in complex scenes, and will take you through the commonly used computer vision techniques to build your own OpenCV projects from scratch. We will develop awesome projects that will focus on the different concepts of computer vision such as image processing, motion detection, and image segmentation. By the end of this course, you will be familiar with the basics of OpenCV such as matrix operations, filters, and histograms, as well as more advanced concepts such as segmentation, machine learning, complex video analysis, and text recognition.
