✅ The Famous “Invisible T-shirt” Effect
✅ Real-Time License Plate Recognition
✅ Left and Right Hand Detection using MediaPipe
✅ Controlling Your Mouse with Hand Gestures
Each project is carefully crafted to help you apply concepts immediately and build a strong portfolio of practical, real-time applications.
So if you’re ready to master computer vision with Python and OpenCV, let’s dive in and start creating intelligent, interactive, and fun projects — one line of code at a time.
Let’s begin the journey. I’ll see you inside the course!
OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open-source library for computer vision, image processing, and machine learning.
Originally developed by Intel, now maintained by the open-source community.
Written in C++ but has Python bindings (cv2 module).
Use cases:
Face recognition
Object detection & tracking
Image filtering
Augmented reality
Optical character recognition (OCR)
