Python Computer Vision Mini-Degree

Computer vision is one of the core technologies powering the next generation of consumer and enterprise applications. From detecting counterfeit bills to advanced security systems, daily medical diagnostics, monitoring the health of livestock, and more, computer vision is in high demand throughout nearly every industry – and so is the need for trained developers with these skills.

The Python Computer Vision Mini-Degree is designed to quickly get you developing computer vision and Internet of Things (IoT) applications with Python, NumPy, and OpenCV. You’ll master the core concepts underlying computer vision – including image representation and manipulation, pattern detection, and video and optical flow. As you learn, you’ll build real portfolio-ready projects, including a smart speed camera, an Instagram-style image filter, a smart security camera, and more.

By developing a comprehensive understanding of this powerful technology, you’ll be prepared to take on the world as a well-informed and highly prepared developer.
