You can master Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV - PyImageSearch
Alright, so at this point you have been exposed to contours pretty heavily on the PyImageSearch blog. We used contours to build a kick-ass mobile document scanner. Contours enabled us detect barcodes in images. And we even leveraged the power…

Today I’ve got a little trick for you, straight out of the PyImageSearch vault. This trick is really awesome — and in many cases, it completely alleviates the need to tune the parameters to your Canny edge detectors. But before…

Today’s blog post comes directly from my own personal repository of utility functions. Over the past month I’ve gotten a handful of PyImageSearch readers emailing in and asking how to download an image from a URL and then convert it…

This past weekend I’ve been really sick with the flu. I haven’t done much besides lay on my couch, sip chicken noodle soup from a coffee mug, and marathon gaming sessions of Call of Duty. It’s honestly been years since…

Today’s post is a followup to a previous (extremely popular) article on detecting barcodes in images using Python and OpenCV. In the previous post we explored how to detect and find barcodes in images. But today we are going to…

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,…

Originally I had intended on doing a followup post on my Getting Started with Deep Learning Guide, but due to some unfortunate personal events, I wasn’t able to complete the blog post. But don’t worry…I still have a really great…

Tragic. Heartbreaking. Unbearable. These are the three words that I would use to describe my past week. About a week ago, a close childhood friend of mine passed away in a tragic car accident. I went to elementary school and…
