You can master Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV - PyImageSearch
I publish a brand new Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV tutorial every Monday at 10AM EST. Here you'll find my most recent tutorials and guides.
A few months ago I demonstrated how to install the Keras deep learning library with a Theano backend. In today’s blog post I provide detailed, step-by-step instructions to install Keras using a TensorFlow backend, originally developed by the researchers and…

Last Updated on July 1, 2021 Today’s blog post is inspired from an email I received from Jason, a student at the University of Rochester. Jason is interested in building a custom object detector using the HOG + Linear SVM…

Today’s blog post is a followup to a tutorial I did a couple of years ago on finding the brightest spot in an image. My previous tutorial assumed there was only one bright spot in the image that you wanted…

Over the past two years running the PyImageSearch blog, I’ve authored two tutorials detailing the required steps to install OpenCV (with Python bindings) on Ubuntu. You can find the two tutorials here: Install OpenCV 3.0 and Python 2.7+ on Ubuntu…

In the previous section, we discussed gradient descent, a first-order optimization algorithm that can be used to learn a set of classifier weights for parameterized learning. However, this “vanilla” implementation of gradient descent can be prohibitively slow to run on…

Nearly all of deep learning is powered by one very important algorithm: Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). — Goodfellow, Bengio, and Courville (2016) At this point, we have a strong understanding of the concept of parameterized learning. We previously discussed the…

Over the past few months I’ve gotten quite the number of requests landing in my inbox to build a bubble sheet/Scantron-like test reader using computer vision and image processing techniques. And while I’ve been having a lot of fun doing…

If you’ve been following along with this series of blog posts, then you already know what a huge fan I am of Keras. Keras is a super powerful, easy to use Python library for building neural networks and deep learning…

Many strategies used in machine learning are explicitly designed to reduce the test error, possibly at the expense of increased training error. These strategies are collectively known as regularization. —Goodfellow, Bengio, and Courville (2016) In previous lessons, we discussed two…
