About This Course

OpenCV's powerful computer vision application programming techniques to build and make your own applications stand out f

"OpenCV Computer Vision Application Programming" allows you to dive into the world of computer vision and get many practical benefits from it with minimal effort. You will learn to recognize and identify specific faces among others, or even train your very own object detector to use it for your own specific purposes.

"OpenCV Computer Vision Application Programming" helps you get started with the library by first learning how to install OpenCV correctly on your system. You will then explore basic image processing concepts as well as the different interfaces that you can use in OpenCV. Develop techniques to separate foreground and background in your images, create stunning panoramas easily by stitching normal images together, enhance your photographs, calibrate your camera and automatically detect common objects like faces or people on your images. Reduce the distortion of your photographs and make straight lines of the scene look straight instead of bent in your images.

You will learn to change the perspective of your images so that it appears that you are moving around, similar to google street view navigation and develop a 3D representation of a scene using stereoscopic images.

On completion of this course, you will be able to mix and match the provided examples to build your own application.

very very vague

you will end up learning nothing

time waste

This course doesn't really teach you how to use a computer vision library. There where some really simple examples, which help with understanding , but nothing more than that. No project or even a quizz.
Everyone can learn a bit more just by reading a book on its own..

Most of the course it's just a code review of the test projects, it's doesn't really teach you how to think in a "Computer Vision" way.
Also the code it's not up-to-date, I downloaded the sample code and some of it simply crash (shape recognition)

There wasn't a thorough analysis of the code and not any materials with listed code.Should have more examples with video processing.
