OpenCV Python Tutorial: Computer Vision With OpenCV In Python

Computer Vision is an AI based, that is, Artificial Intelligence based technology that allows computers to understand and label images. Its now used in Convenience stores, Driver-less Car Testing, Security Access Mechanisms, Policing and Investigations Surveillance, Daily Medical Diagnosis monitoring health of crops and live stock and so on and so forth..

A common example will be face detection and unlocking mechanism that you use in your mobile phone. We use that daily. That is also a big application of Computer Vision. And today, top technology companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook etc are investing millions and millions of Dollars into Computer Vision based research and product development.

Computer vision allows us to analyze and leverage image and video data, with applications in a variety of industries, including self-driving cars, social network apps, medical diagnostics, and many more.

As the fastest growing language in popularity, Python is well suited to leverage the power of existing computer vision libraries to learn from all this image and video data.

What you'll learn

  • Use OpenCV to work with image files
  • Perform image manipulation with OpenCV, including smoothing, blurring, thresholding, and morphological operations.
  • Create Face Detection Software
  • Detect Objects, including corner, edge, and grid detection techniques with OpenCV and Python
  • Use Python and Deep Learning to build image classifiers
  • Use Python and OpenCV to draw shapes on images and videos
  • Create Color Histograms with OpenCV
  • Study from MIT notes and get Interview questions
  • Crack image processing limits by developing Applications.
