You can master Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV - PyImageSearch
I publish a brand new Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV tutorial every Monday at 10AM EST. Here you'll find my most recent tutorials and guides.
Last Wednesday’s blog post reviewed the first step of building an image search engine: Defining Your Image Descriptor. We then examined the three aspects of an image that can be easily described: Color: Image descriptors that characterize the color of…
