You can master Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV - PyImageSearch
UPDATE: The introduction to this post may seen a little “out there”. For some context, I had just finished watching the South Park Black Friday episodes prior to writing this post so I definitely had some inspiration regarding zombie shoppers,…
