Take a sneak peek at what's inside...

Join the FREE Crash Course

I did deeplearning.ai, Udacity AI Nanodegree, and bunch of other courses...but for the last month I have always started the day by first finishing one day of your course. The projects are not too overwhelming but each project gets a key thing done, so they are super useful. I keep on finding myself getting back and looking at the source code from your projects, much more than I do from other courses.”

Igor MarjanovicResearcher and business owner

The course was PERFECT. The amount of knowledge (on point and hands on) I could attain in these 17 days was way more than what I could gather in the last 3-4 months from my academics. I am really thankful to this course. Its simple yet effectively designed. I have already started suggesting this to my colleagues in my research lab.”

Here's what you'll learn inside this FREE Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV Crash Course.

Detect faces in images and video streams.

From the very first lesson in this course, you will be learning practical computer vision skills, starting with face detection, the first step in building face recognition systems.

Most OpenCV courses save face detection until later in the material — but why wait? Face detection is not only a fun technique, it's also highly practical as well.

Furthermore, you'll be using OpenCV's deep learning-based face detector which is far more accurate than the other face detectors built into OpenCV.

Most OpenCV practitioners don't even know about this deep learning face detector — it's a hidden gem in the library, and I'd like to not only show it to you, but show you how to use it as well.

Learn the fundamentals of computer vision, image processing, and OpenCV.

We walk before we run — but that doesn't mean learning the fundamentals has to be boring. Far from it. Instead, I believe studying computer vision should be fun. You should get your hands dirty in the code. You should learn by doing and build mini-projects along the way.

I've put together an OpenCV, computer vision, and image processing boot camp that will walk you through the fundamentals and have you learning with hands-on examples along the way.

By the time you complete this lesson, you'll understand the basics of image processing using OpenCV, the world's most popular computer vision library (and one we'll leverage quite extensively in the rest of the crash course).

Become proficient in OpenCV by building practical, real-world computer vision applications (like this document scanner)

If this crash course were a "normal" programming course, the first app you build would be kind of useless. You learn some key elements such as syntax, loops, and conditionals, but the program itself wouldn't be practical. That's not how I teach — inside this course you'll become proficient in OpenCV through hands-on, real-world projects.

Did you know that your smartphone camera can be turned into a document scanner? That's right! Just snap a photo of a receipt, a signed contract, or a filled-in expense report, and your phone can generate a "scanned" version of the document.

In reality, document scanner applications are easy to build and can be broken down into 3 simple steps. To learn what these steps are (and to become proficient in OpenCV through an actual real-world project), you'll need to join the crash course.

Original Image Scanned

Build an automatic test grader and OMR system using computer vision

Learning computer vision and deep learning is like putting tools in your toolbox — but you still need the right tool for the job. So how do you know which tool to use and when? I'll show you and teach you my best practices, tips, and suggestions.

Continuing our trend of building practical computer vision applications, you'll learn how to build an OpenCV program capable of scanning and grading exams (i.e., an OMR system).

Building such a system isn't as complex as you think — it just takes the application of the right computer vision algorithms. Inside this lesson, I'll show you the computer vision techniques you need to build an automatic test grader, enabling you to fill your toolbox with new algorithms you can apply to your own projects.

Discover how to track objects in real-time

Applying object tracking to real-time video may seem like a complicated process, but OpenCV makes it easy and straightforward.

We'll start off with a basic (yet effective) object tracking algorithm using color-based thresholds. You'll then learn how to apply more advanced object tracking algorithms to your own projects, including centroid tracking, KCF tracking, CSRT tracking, TLD tracking, and MOSSE tracking. These algorithms will enable you to obtain state-of-the-art object tracking performance with little effort on your part.

Learn how to measure the size of objects in an image (and save lives along the way)

Did you know that over 3.3 million injuries and deaths happen each year due to patients taking the incorrect medication? This amounts to billions of dollars in hospital bills, insurance claims, and worse, patient injury or death. You can help solve the problem with computer vision though!

Determining the size of a prescription pill is one of the most important steps when performing drug identification. If you can automatically calculate the size of the pill, then you can dramatically narrow down the set of pills that the medication could possibly be.

Here's another scenario: If you're looking at a collection of cells under a microscope, you may not be able to immediately determine the size of the various individual cells. In fact, it can take a trained pathologist hours to manually analyze these images — the same task can be accomplished in just seconds with computer vision-enabled software. To learn how to measure the size of objects in images, you'll need to join the crash course.

Utilize face detection and facial landmarks to localize the face, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and jawline

Face detection is the first step in building automatic facial recognition systems. Facial landmarks further enable us to localize specific areas of the face, including eyes, nose, etc. The techniques covered in this lesson will enable you to build computer vision and face applications.

When performing face detection with OpenCV, one of the first algorithms you'll come across is "Haar cascades". If you've applied Haar cascades before, you know they work...sometimes. These face detectors are highly prone to false-positive detections and can be very tricky to tune.

There is a better face detector built into OpenCV though! Most OpenCV practitioners don't know this, but there is actually a much more accurate face detector that is distributed with the OpenCV library. This face detector leverages deep learning algorithms and is significantly more accurate. I'll show you how to find this face detector in the OpenCV library and apply it to your own images/video in this lesson.

You can learn how to detect blinks in real-time video

Take a second to consider how fast a blink actually is — typically in the order of 100-400ms. That's fast! But lucky for us, our webcams and computer vision algorithms are faster!

Why might we need to detect blinks? To start, blink detection can enable disabled users to better interact with computers, not only improving their quality of life but their family members' as well!

Blink detection can also be attributed to nervousness and anxiety — you could leverage blink detection to create a basic emotion recognition system or even a simple lie detector. If you want to learn how to apply blink detection to your own projects, you'll need to join the crash course.

Prevent car accidents by using computer vision to detect tired, drowsy drivers

It's late at night. You're driving home after a long day. You're only a few miles from home, which is great, because you're tired...so tired...so ti...and suddenly you swerve, your eyes snap open, and you've lost an instant or two of time. You almost fell asleep at the wheel! You were lucky this time, but to prevent car accidents due to tired drivers, you should utilize computer vision.

Excessive blinking and drooping eyelids may be a sign of fatigue. While facial landmarks may show use how to localize regions of the face, including the eyes, we need a separate algorithm, called the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) to detect when the eyes are closed. Inside this lesson you'll learn how to use the EAR algorithm to detect when your eyes are closed and even build a computer vision system capable of sounding an alarm if you fall asleep at the wheel. To learn how to build such a system, you'll need to join the crash course.

You don’t need complicated theory or a degree in computer science to learn Computer Vision.

Discover how to perform Deep Learning with OpenCV

Did you know that you can recognize 1,000 common object categories out-of-the-box with OpenCV?

And best of all, you don't need to invest hours in teaching these networks to recognize objects. OpenCV provides support for state-of-the-art, pre-trained neural networks, including ResNet, Inception, SqueezeNet, and more, all of which are capable of performing automatic image classification.

You can use these exact computer vision and deep learning algorithms in your own projects, but you'll need to join the crash course to find out how.

Create your own deep learning datasets (and discover my tips, suggestions, and best practices along the way)

I’m Ready to Join the FREE Crash Course

Playing with pre-trained deep neural networks is a great way to dip your toe into the world of deep learning, but eventually you will need to recognize an object class that the network was not trained on. What do you do then? The answer is that you'll need to train your own neural network — but first you need to build your dataset.

One of the biggest issues I see with budding computer vision and deep learning practitioners is that they don't know how to build their own datasets.

Sure, they can code custom neural network architectures, train them, and obtain reasonable results, but if you ask them to build + annotate their own dataset, they are left scratching their heads.

Don't be like these other computer vision and deep learning practitioners — invest in yourself by learning how to create your own image datasets for computer vision and deep learning.

Learn how to train Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) on your own custom dataset

I’m Ready to Join the FREE Crash Course

After you have learned how to gather and annotate your own custom dataset (in an earlier lesson in the crash course), your next step will be to actually train a CNN on the data using Keras, arguably the best deep learning library available today. Keras makes it super easy to get from idea to result in as few lines of code as possible.

One of the biggest reasons I love sharing lessons such as this one is that I know firsthand what it's like to work without having access to such powerful libraries.

When I first started working with neural networks (about 13 years ago), there were no libraries such as Keras, TensorFlow, etc. You had to implement your own neural networks by hand, a process that could take you days.

Now, with Keras, you'll be implementing and training your first Convolutional Neural Network in less than a half-hour!

You can perform real-time object detection with deep learning and OpenCV

Most deep learning + computer vision networks perform image classification, the process of categorizing an image into a set of labels. Image classification algorithms can tell us what is in an image but not where a specific object is — to do that, we need to perform object detection, which is exactly what I'll teach you in this lesson.

Inside this lesson you'll learn how to perform object detection using deep learning and OpenCV. I'll also show you how these algorithms work, giving you a deeper understanding of object detection.

Finally, I'll provide you with my favorite object detection resources, enabling you to train your own custom deep learning object detectors!
