PyImageSearch University is really the best Computer Visions "Masters" Degree that I wish I had when starting out. Being able to access all of Adrian's tutorials in a single indexed page and being able to start playing around with the code without going through the nightmare of setting up everything is just amazing. 10/10 would recommend.
Not going to kid you: PyImageSearch University is worth every cent. I get asked ALL the time at my talks how I got started. PyImageSearch was the foundation.
This is a fantastic, unique resource. Where else can you get such brilliant tuition in such a wide variety of computer vision topics for such a low monthly cost? Nowhere is the answer. Highly recommended.
At the age of 58, learning ML, Computer Vision and Python all in parallel with no prior programming background was a steep learning curve and without PyImageSearch this could not have been possible. PyImageSearch brought it all nicely together.
When I first undertook my current ongoing robotics project my goals were very modest. Then I discovered PyImageSearch and found that I could go light-years beyond what I thought myself capable of back then. Through Adrian's detailed and easy-to-follow tutorials, I have achieved functionality goals I wouldn't have dared dream of before. My understanding and implementation of Python, along with a number of computer vision and machine learning concepts puts me on a par with some of the best programmers I've worked with. I couldn't have achieved this level of satisfaction without Adrian and his organization, and I am very grateful.
As a CS professor, I scaffold experiences so that my students build confidence, comfort, and enjoyment across all of the "pixel-processing's realm." Adrian's Jupyter/Colab materials are both invaluable -- and far more valuable than their price!
The PyImageSearch tutorials have been the most to the point content I have seen. I have always been able to get straightforward solutions for most of my Computer Vision and Deep Learning problems that I face in my day-to-day work life. Courses like this is what helps people and industries around the world to make quick and efficient solutions to their problems in real time.
