HRDF Course - Python OpenCV Computer Vision Training

OpenCV is an open-source toolkit for Advanced Computer Vision. It is one of the most popular tools for facial recognition, used in a wide variety of security, marketing, and photography applications, and it powers a lot of cutting-edge tech, including augmented reality and Robotics.

This course introduces OpenCV 3 for Python 3. It will show how to leverage the image-processing power of OpenCV to identify and recognize features.

Topics include:

• Installing and configuring OpenCV
• Data types and structures
• Image types
• Manipulating pixels
• Scaling and rotating images
• Using video inputs
• Creating custom interfaces
• Thresholding
• Object detection
• Face and feature detection
• Template matching
