Course Description

Computer Vision is one of the most exciting fields in Machine Learning and AI. It has applications in many industries such as self-driving cars, robotics, augmented reality, face detection in law enforcement agencies. In this beginner-friendly course you will understand about computer vision, and will learn about its various applications across many industries.As part of this course you will utilize Python, Watson AI, and OpenCV to process images and interact with image classification models. You will also build, train, and test your own custom image classifiers. This is a hands-on course and involves several labs and exercises. All the labs will be performed on the Cloud and you will be provided access to a Cloud environment completely free of charge. At the end of the course, you will create your own computer vision web app and deploy it to the Cloud.This course does not require any prior Machine Learning or Computer Vision experience, however some knowledge of Python programming language is necessary.

Nice overview of the possibilities of Waston Computer Vision APIs and intro to OpenCV

By Mike O on 13-Nov-19

Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Learned about OpenCV a bit and added to my small knowledge of Python. The ability to know how to train Watson to do optical recognizition will be invaluable.

Amazing labs and awesome content

By LEE C K on 6-Nov-19

Great Introduction for new learner with some labs experience.

By Wayne Z on 29-Oct-19

great learning opportunity with hands on codes, suggest to improve some of the lab jupyter notebook errors

By Gaurav M on 25-Oct-19

Course was good but not the content. Almost every lab is broken and people have to wait for the course administrator to respond. At the end we ourselves join the things so that it will work so on one hand its nice that we learn as things are broken but for some people its first hand to programming or IBM Watson and the image they are going to carry will not be nice. For the coursera I would strongly comment that this course is full of errors and how they placed this course with the monthly subscription be the big question. For me if it be free there will be some relaxation.

Too many bugs in the course to work through.

By Louis S on 4-Oct-19

Except the week 3, this is only advertising for Watson from IBM.The third weeks is teaching interesting things about OpenCV and the other week are just saying every minutes how Watson is great but the using could be teach in 5 minutes.

Great course

This is the first pathetic course experience I have on Course - my assignment has not been reviewed since last 4 days . . .

By David B on 16-Sep-19

Another course with potential, ruined by a flakey operational platform. IBM Cloud as provisioned in this course is not fit for purpose, end of story. Exercises are often impossible to do because servers, storage or proxies in the IBM cloud are down, and the instructions are not always complete either.Sadly, the material, though informative at a very high level, is nowhere near detailed enough to actually teach the underlying integration, though you'll be well able to cut, paste and press "Shift-Enter" by the time you finish, even if you have no clue what the code you're executing does.The title is misleading too - this is a Watson Visual Recogniser course. It describes this product (as a visual classifier) quite well, but it barely touches any of the ideas behind Computer Vision, and doesn't really teach anything at all about OpenCV.Worth doing for free if you have nothing better to do, but there are better ways to spend your time and money.
