Course Overview
OpenCV, once released by INTEL to benchmark their processors, comes with a huge array of functionality, even deep learning-based, and allows for efficient image processing and computer vision. Tracking, Object Detection, Facial Recognition, and much more – all in one library. Understanding how to work with image and video data is becoming vital in modern applications. The most popular platforms in the world are generating never before seen amounts of image and video data. Every 60 seconds users upload more than 300 hours of video to Youtube, Netflix subscribers stream over 80,000 hours of video, and Instagram users like over 2 million photos!
