You can master Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV - PyImageSearch
OpenCV can be a big, hard to navigate library, especially if you are just getting started learning computer vision and image processing. The release of OpenCV 3 has only further complicated matters, moving a few important functions around and even…

I think a better title for this blog post might be: How I lost a day of productivity to Ubuntu, virtual environments, matplotlib, and rendering backends. Over the weekend I was playing around with deep learning on my Ubuntu system…

You know what makes for a (not so) fun weekend? Reconfiguring and reinstalling OSX on your MacBook Pro. Apparently, the 13in MacBook Pro that I use when I’m traveling decided to shit the bed. No worries though, I use Carbon…

It was unavoidable — the OpenCV 3 release was bound to break backwards compatibility with some OpenCV 2.4.X functions: cv2.findContours and cv2.normalize come to mind right off the top of my head. So how do you ensure that your code…

A few weeks ago I introduced bat-country, my implementation of a lightweight, extendible, easy to use Python package for deep dreaming and inceptionism. The reception of the library was very good, so I decided that it would be interesting to…

Honestly, I love the Raspberry Pi for teaching computer vision — it is perhaps one of the best teaching tools to expose programmers, developers, and students to the world of computer vision. It’s great for hobbyists and garage-room hackers, as…

A couple weeks ago I provided step-by-step install instructions to setup OpenCV 3.0 and Python 2.7+ on your Ubuntu machine. However, one of the huge benefits of migrating to OpenCV 3.0 is the new Python 3.4+ support. In the previous…

If you’ve had a chance to play around with OpenCV 3 (and do a lot of work with keypoint detectors and feature descriptors) you may have noticed that the SIFT and SURF implementations are no longer included in the OpenCV…
Read More of Where did SIFT and SURF go in OpenCV 3?
One of the main benefits of the bat-country Python package for deep dreaming and visualization is its ease of use, extensibility, and customization. And let me tell you, that customization really came in handy last Friday when the Google Research…
