Course Description
How can you locate particular objects in images by their features? How can you apply advanced classical and machine learning technology to solve your computer vision problems? OpenCV is a well-established open source project that makes computer vision available to any Python developer. Learning how to process images and videos and extract features relevant to your project is an essential skill in many data and application projects. The topics discussed in these lessons will provide a foundation for future work in computational image enhancement or computer vision AI applications.
In these lessons on face and feature detection, you will learn how to detect particular objects in images and video frames in OpenCV. We will explore template matching, corner detection, more advanced feature detection and matching, and classical and machine learning approaches. By the end of these lessons, you will be able to detect faces and a variety of objects by their features in OpenCV.
