Computer vision applications involving Deep Learning are booming!
Having Machines that can 'see' will change our world and revolutionize almost every industry out there. Machines or robots that can see will be able to:
Perform surgery and accurately analyze and diagnose you from medical scans.
Enable self-driving cars
Radically change robots allowing us to build robots that can cook, clean and assist us with almost any task
Understand what's being seen in CCTV surveillance videos thus performing security, traffic management and a host of other services
Create Art with amazing Neural Style Transfers and other innovative types of image generation
Simulate many tasks such as Aging faces, modifying live video feeds and realistically replace actors in films
Huge technology companies such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Tesla are all heavily devoting billions to computer vision research.
As a result, the demand for computer vision expertise is growing exponentially!
However, learning computer vision with Deep Learning is hard!
Tutorials are too technical and theoretical
Code is outdated
Beginners just don't know where to start
That's why I made this course!
I spent months developing a proper and complete learning path.
I teach all key concepts logically and without overloading you with mathematical theory while using the most up to date methods.
I created a FREE Virtual Machine with all Deep Learning Libraries (Keras, TensorFlow, OpenCV, TFODI, YOLO, Darkflow etc) installed! This will save you hours of painfully complicated installs
I teach using practical examples and you'll learn by doing 18 projects!
Projects such as:
Handwritten Digit Classification using MNIST
Image Classification using CIFAR10
Dogs vs Cats classifier
Flower Classifier using Flowers-17
Fashion Classifier using FNIST
Monkey Breed Classifier
Fruit Classifier
Simpsons Character Classifier
Using Pre-trained ImageNet Models to classify a 1000 object classes
Age, Gender and Emotion Classification
Finding the Nuclei in Medical Scans using U-Net
Object Detection using a ResNet50 SSD Model built using TensorFlow Object Detection
Object Detection with YOLO V3
A Custom YOLO Object Detector that Detects London Underground Tube Signs
DeepDream
Neural Style Transfers
GANs - Generate Fake Digits
GANs - Age Faces up to 60+ using Age-cGAN
Face Recognition
Credit Card Digit Reader
Using Cloud GPUs on PaperSpace
Build a Computer Vision API and Web App and host it on AWS using an EC2 Instance!
And OpenCV Projects such as:
Live Sketch
Identifying Shapes
Counting Circles and Ellipses
Finding Waldo
Single Object Detectors using OpenCV
Car and Pedestrian Detector using Cascade Classifiers

Hi I'm Rajeev, a Data Scientist, and Computer Vision Engineer.
I have a BSc in Computer & Electrical Engineering and an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Edinburgh where I gained extensive knowledge of machine learning, computer vision, and intelligent robotics.
I have published research on using data-driven methods for Probabilistic Stochastic Modeling for Public Transport and even was part of a group that won a robotics competition at the University of Edinburgh.
I launched my own computer vision startup that was based on using deep learning in education since then I've been contributing to 2 more startups in computer vision domains and one multinational company in Data Science.
Previously, I worked for 8 years at two of the Caribbean’s largest telecommunication operators where he gained experience in managing technical staff and deploying complex telecommunications projects.
