You can master Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV - PyImageSearch
Examples of Image Search Engines
Today’s blog post is inspired by a question I received from a PyImageSearch reader on Twitter, @makingyouthink. Paraphrasing the tweets myself and @makingyouthink exchanged, the question was: Have you ever seen a Python implementation of Measuring colourfulness in natural images…
