In today’s blog post, I interview David Austin, who, with his teammate, Weimin Wang, took home 1st place (and $25,000) in Kaggle’s Iceberg Classifier Challenge. David and Weimin’s winning solution can be practically used to allow safer navigation for ships…

Over the past few months, I’ve been using Microsoft’s Ubuntu deep learning and data science virtual machine (DSVM) for a few projects I’m working on here at PyImageSearch. At first, I was a bit hesitant (and perhaps even a bit…

What if I said that there’s a camera that: Is low cost at $65. Runs MicroPython. And can be expanded with shields just like an Arduino/RPi. Meet OpenMV! I met Kwabena Agyeman, the founder of OpenMV, during the PyImageSearch Gurus…

Today we are going to discuss a fundamental developer, engineer, and computer scientist skill — command line arguments. Specifically, we’ll be discussing: What are command line arguments Why we use command line arguments How to parse command line arguments with…

In today’s post I’m going to share with you the 7 best deep learning books (in no particular order) I have come across and would personally recommend you read. Some of these deep learning books are heavily theoretical, focusing on…

Last updated on July 4, 2021. Today I’m going to share a little known secret with you regarding the OpenCV library: You can perform fast, accurate face detection with OpenCV using a pre-trained deep learning face detector model shipped with…

Today’s post is inspired by Danielle, a PyImageSearch reader who emailed me last week and asked: Hi Adrian, I’m enjoying your blog and I especially liked last week’s post about image classification with the Intel Movidius NCS. I’m still considering…

Let me ask you three questions: What if you could could run state-of-the-art neural networks on a USB stick? What if you could see over 10x performance on this USB stick compared to your CPU? And what if this entire…

Shipping deep learning models to production is a non-trivial task. If you don’t believe me, take a second and look at the “tech giants” such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc. — nearly all of them provide some method to ship…
