Implementing OpenCV or a machine learning solution shouldn't be that hard.
Ever have a great idea and thought, “I have seen things like this done online or in youtube videos.” It can't be that hard to do?
After five days, 20 hours of google searching, and 15 failed attempts at installing ten different solutions, you are no closer to a solution for your great idea.
You think, “why is it so hard to find a solution?”
You are ready to move on to something easier to implement, your great idea never gets created. You are frustrated and start doubting yourself. You might even start having a hard time sleeping as frustration, doubts, and stress mount.
When your friends ask, “how’s work” or “how’s that project,” you make up stories to avoid embarrassment.
For some reason, “I’m working out the bugs” makes you feel better than admitting, “I don’t know what I’m doing, and I don’t have the help I need.”
We believe implementing OpenCV or a machine learning solution shouldn't be that hard.
We created the OpenCV and Deep Learning Academy to provide you with basic knowledge and, ultimately, a simple working environment that can run on any system, detailed video tutorials, with high-quality, well-documented code that you can use to complete your great idea.
We created OpenCV and Deep Learning Academy to help you write code immediately, complete projects, and get ahead at work.
We provide lessons with:
We like to remind people of our friend Jon H’s first six months of trying to learn OpenCV and deep learning. Here’s what Jon went through when he first tried to learn OpenCV and deep learning.
I tried to use YouTube videos, and it didn’t work. I somehow got the idea that I needed to use my GPU because I had a GPU. That led to three weeks of trying to get my machine configured to train a deep learning model using my Nvidia graphics card.
I couldn’t figure it out, which led to more rabbit holes. As a result, all of my time was spent working on things that didn’t help me learn, experiment, or progress.
Learning wasn’t fun at this point. It was frustrating.
I’d finish hours working on configuration files, drivers, and errors, and when it was time for me to hang out with my friends and children, I’d be in a foul mood.
My goal of learning OpenCV and deep learning was making my life worse and damaging my relationship with my kids. My kids even started avoiding me if they could see it was a particularly bad study session.
It wasn’t a great time for my learning or my life. It was just frustrating.
I got so frustrated that I stopped for the next three months.
My wife is a professional developer, and she had told me that I could just YouTube my way through learning because that’s how she solves problem. Her years of experience make that an option for her, but it didn’t work for me.
That’s why we created the OpenCV and Deep Learning Academy. To give you everything you need to write working code, understand the code, and make progress on your first day as a member of OpenCV and Deep Learning Academy.
We designed the curriculum, so everyone from beginners to experts will find what they need to advance their careers and knowledge.
PyImageSearch’s course converted me from a Python beginner to a published computer vision practitioner. If you are looking for the most cost- and time-efficient way to learn Computer Vision and Deep Learning, and if you are really serious, I wholeheartedly recommend PyImageSearch courses.
If any of these descriptions fit you, rest assured that OpenCV and Deep Learning Academy is designed for you.

Only for the OpenCV and Deep Learning Academy course launch. You will get exclusive, behind-the-scenes live learning from the PyImageSearch team.
Leverage the chance to level up your career.
This OpenCV and Deep Learning Launchpad event will be a live, one-hour session with our top developers. You’ll get one-time, exclusive access to a hands-on learning experience. By the time you are done with OpenCV Launchpad, you will be able to:
This event is only available to our OpenCV and Deep Learning Academy customers, so don’t miss this $500 bonus. It’s free to you if you buy OpenCV and Deep Learning Academy.
Best of all, we have an exciting announcement to make at the live learning event, so if you want to be the first to know exciting news, join us!
What would it be worth to you to solve big problems on OpenCV today and to train your first deep learning model tomorrow without frustration or broken code and hundreds of times searching the internet for what your error code means?
What would life be like if you could make, manage, and lead teams churning out production machine learning and computer vision products?
We already mentioned our bonus $500 OpenCV Launchpad so when combined with our OpenCV and Deep Learning Academy ($697 value) this course is easily worth $1,200.
In the U.S. inflation is high right now. At the recent Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders meeting, Mr. Warren Buffet, one of America’s greatest investors, was asked what a young person should invest in.
He said, “Invest in becoming the best at something because they can never take that away from you. Being the best at something will also let you earn from that skill for a lifetime. Invest in your skills”.
That was not the answer this young person was expecting. But, of course, Warren Buffet is right.
Invest in yourself, and you will earn a return from your skill for the rest of your life.
When you think about it like that, $1,200 seems like a bargain, right?
Good news though, The OpenCV Launchpad event is part of the course which means the course is only $697.
What would it cost you to build these same skills at a college?
You need all of the prerequisite courses, so that’s a year or two of math.
Why do you need all of this math?
Do you need math to use OpenCV and deep learning?
No. You need this math so you can derive the equations used to test your skill at derivations. Guess what, though? Nobody’s going to ask you for your derivations in real life, real-world application matters.
We jump you to the head of the class and teach you to apply OpenCV and deep learning, insted of how to derive equations.
To get these skills from a college would cost around $20,000 and take a year or two of your life.
But wait, if you were in college, you couldn’t work. So, yes, you’d pay $20,000 in tuition to get these skills, but what about the lost wages because you’d need to be a full-time student? That’s right, the opportunity cost of getting these skills from a college would add up to at least $20,000 more. So, that puts the cost of the skills you will learn (guaranteed or your money back) at over $40,000. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather pay $697 for this self-paced course than pay $40,000 to get the exact same skills from a college.
In 30 days, you will be able to say with 100% certainty that you possess the training and tools required to accomplish your #1 goal, whether that's to discover working code to solve a specific problem, start a fun hobby, or achieve a new job position or promotion, or we'll give your money back
Do you remember Jon H. and his story of frustration when he tried to learn OpenCV and deep learning on his own? Well, his story has a happy ending. So we’ll let him tell it in his own words.
I almost didn’t go back to learning OpenCV and deep learning. But, eventually, I decided to try a second time, but with a different approach.
Instead of trying to do it my self, I decided to invest in a program that would make it easier for me to learn.
I purchased everything that PyImageSearch sold. Then, I wrote to PyImageSearch and said, ‘I give up - just sell me everything you make, what I’m doing now isn’t working.’
At the time they had to create a custom product for me because people don’t normally buy everything at once. But, I did.
I had code that worked, clear explanations, and a series of fun projects from that day forward. I feel foolish for wasting so much time trying to YouTube my way through a program.
Now when I go to study, I sit down and immediately have a development environment that’s easy to use and fast.
I have code that’s professionally written, clear, and well documented.
I get a code walkthrough video with each lesson, so I understand what’s happening for each lesson.
Instead of spending three months and making no progress, I spend 30 minutes learning essential concepts like CNNs, Siamese Networks, Autoencoders, fiducials, and augmented reality. I even finally learned how to use Python to make PID loops to control drones.
I love drones and fly them with kids for fun now.
When conversations happen at work, I explain the difference between JAX, TRAX, TF, and PyTorch. I know what deterministic and deep learning models are and when to apply each correctly.
People seek out my opinion and I’m able to lead complex projects.
It’s way better than sitting around trying to get CUDA to work on my computer.
