About this course

Computer Vision is the art of distilling actionable information from images.

In this hands-on course, we'll learn about Image Analysis techniques using OpenCV and the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit to segment images into meaningful parts. We'll explore the evolution of Image Analysis, from classical to Deep-Learning techniques.

We'll use Transfer Learning and Microsoft ResNet to train a model to perform Semantic Segmentation.

What you'll learn

  • Apply classical Image Analysis techniques, such as Edge Detection, Watershed and Distance Transformation as well as K-means Clustering to segment a basic dataset.
  • Implement classical Image Analysis algorithms using the OpenCV library.
  • Compare classical and Deep-Learning object classification techniques.
  • Apply Microsoft ResNet, a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to object classification using the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit.
  • Apply Transfer Learning to augment ResNet18 for a Fully Convolutional Network (FCN) for Semantic Segmentation.

Prerequisites

  • Working knowledge of Python
  • Skills equivalent to the following courses
    • DAT263x: Introduction to AI
    • DAT236x: Deep Learning Explained
