Last updated 6/2026
English

What you'll learn

  • Understand the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, and Object Detection and how they power real-world computer vision applications.
  • Install and configure a complete machine learning development environment including Anaconda, Jupyter Notebook, and Visual Studio — ready for professional AI.
  • Set up Python virtual environments and manage pip dependencies to keep your project clean, organized, and reproducible.
  • Capture and process images using OpenCV and prepare a well-structured dataset ready for model training.
  • Annotate images using a professional labeling tool and create accurate bounding box annotations that teach your model what a human looks like.
  • Build label maps, generate TFRecord files, and organize training and test datasets correctly for TensorFlow model training.
  • Navigate the TensorFlow Model Garden, download pre-trained models from the TensorFlow Model Zoo, and configure them as the foundation for your custom detector.
  • Configure protocol buffers, define directory structures, verify paths, and write a complete pipeline configuration file before training begins.
  • Train your custom human detection model from scratch, manage long training sessions with or without a GPU, and monitor progress in real time.
  • Evaluate your trained model using Mean Average Precision, Recall, and Confusion Matrix to measure detection accuracy objectively.
  • Load trained checkpoints, restore your model pipeline, and run predictions on real image and video files with bounding boxes and confidence scores.
  • Deploy your trained model for real-time human detection and counting through a live webcam feed — system camera or external USB camera.
  • Freeze the trained graph, save the final model, and convert it to TensorFlow Lite for deployment on mobile devices and embedded platforms.
  • Archive your trained model correctly so it can be retrieved, modified, and used as the foundation for building future custom detection models.

16 sections44 lectures5h 6m total length
  • Introduction to AI & Neural Networks8:43

    In this lecture, we will learn about Artificial Intelligence and the types of AI. Thereafter, we will proceed with applications of Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, and so on.

  • Object Detection Models7:33

    In this lecture, we will get to know about the methods for object detection and its real-world applications.

  • Understanding OpenCV4:27

    This lecture will teach us about the Computer Vision (CV) library, and its features and applications.

  • Getting to know about Tensorflow9:03

    In this lecture, we’ll learn about TensorFlow, TensorFlow APIs, its features, and applications.

Requirements

  • Basic Python programming knowledge is required — variables, loops, and functions. No deep learning or AI experience needed beyond that.
  • No prior TensorFlow, OpenCV, or machine learning experience required — all concepts are introduced and explained from scratch inside the course.
  • A Windows PC or laptop with at least 8GB RAM — a GPU is helpful for faster training but not required as the course covers CPU-based training as well.
  • Anaconda, Visual Studio, and Jupyter Notebook will be installed together in the course — no software setup is needed before enrolling.

Description

What If Your Computer Could See People — and You Built the System That Makes It Possible?

Not a pre-built app. Not a third-party API. A custom-trained machine learning model that you designed, trained, and deployed yourself — capable of detecting and counting humans in photos, videos, and live webcam feeds in real time.

That is exactly what you will build in this course.

This Is Real AI. Built by You.

Most AI courses teach you to use someone else's model. This course teaches you to build your own — from raw image capture and data annotation all the way to a fully trained, exported, and deployable human detection system powered by TensorFlow.

By the final lecture, you will have a working computer vision project that detects humans in real time — running on your own machine, using a model you trained yourself.

What You Will Build:

A complete Human Detection and Counting System that:

  • Detects humans in photos and video files with bounding boxes and confidence scores

  • Counts humans live from your system webcam or any external camera

  • Runs on a custom-trained TensorFlow model built from your own dataset

  • Can be exported to TensorFlow Lite for deployment on mobile or embedded devices

What You Will Learn — Section by Section:

Introduction to AI and Object Detection Understand Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, and Object Detection from the ground up. Explore TensorFlow, the Computer Vision library, and real-world applications before writing a single line of code.

Environment Setup — Anaconda, Visual Studio, and Jupyter Notebook Install and configure every tool you need for professional machine learning development. Your environment will be production-ready before the project begins.

Jupyter Notebook Workflow Get comfortable working in Jupyter Notebook — testing code snippets, debugging issues, and organizing your project workspace efficiently.

Importing Dependencies and Defining Paths Import all required libraries, define label paths, and understand your project structure with well-documented, ready-to-run source code.

Image Capture and Data Annotation with OpenCV Learn to capture images using OpenCV, annotate them with labels, and prepare a clean, well-structured dataset — the foundation every strong model is built on.

Building Your Custom Detection Model Start developing your human detection model using TensorFlow's pre-trained models as a base. Understand label maps, script records, and workspace structure for full customization.

TensorFlow API and Protocol Buffers Navigate the TensorFlow Model Garden, configure Protobufs, verify source code integrity, and download pre-trained models from the TensorFlow Model Zoo.

Data Preparation and Label Maps Create label maps, manage training and test records, and configure your model files correctly — with live demonstrations at every critical step.

Pipeline Configuration Understand checkpoints, training parameters, and configuration files. Write, copy, and verify your pipeline configuration so training runs without errors.

Model Training and Evaluation The core of the course. Execute training scripts, manage long training sessions with or without a GPU, and evaluate your model using mAP, Recall, and Confusion Matrix metrics.

Loading Trained Models and Checkpoints Restore your trained checkpoints, load pipeline configurations, and build your final detection model ready for testing and deployment.

Testing on Images Run your trained model on image files, define category indexes, and visualize predictions with bounding boxes and confidence scores on real photos.

Real-Time Human Detection via Webcam See your model come alive. Detect and count humans in real time from your system webcam or any external camera — the moment everything you built starts working together.

Model Export and Deployment Freeze your trained graph, convert it to TensorFlow Lite, and archive it for deployment on mobile devices, Raspberry Pi, or any embedded platform.

Why Students Choose This Course:

You Build a Custom Model — Not Just Use One Every other course hands you a pre-trained model and calls it AI. This course teaches you the entire pipeline — data collection, annotation, training, evaluation, and deployment — so you truly understand what you built.

Intermediate Level With Structured Progression The course is designed for learners who know Python basics and want to step into real deep learning. Every section builds on the last — no jumps, no gaps, no confusion.

Works With or Without a GPU Long training sessions are covered both with and without GPU acceleration. You can complete this course on a standard laptop.

Real-Time Results You Can See and Show Your final project runs live on a webcam. You will see bounding boxes appearing around detected humans in real time — on your own screen, using your own model.

English Subtitles on Every Lecture Clear, accessible learning for students from every background and region.
