Cameras are an integral component in many new technologies. Autonomous systems use cameras to navigate their environment, while doctors use small cameras to help guide minimally invasive surgical techniques. It is essential that engineers use computer vision techniques to extract information from these types of images and videos.

Cameras are an integral component in many new technologies. Autonomous systems use cameras to navigate their environment, while doctors use small cameras to help guide minimally invasive surgical techniques. It is essential that engineers use computer vision techniques to extract information from these types of images and videos.

In this specialization, you’ll gain the computer vision skills underpinning many of today’s top jobs. Specifically, you’ll:

Perform object detection Train image classification models Use features to track objects and align images Detect motion in video Implement multi-object tracking

You will use MATLAB throughout this specialization. MATLAB is the go-to choice for millions of people working in engineering and science and provides the capabilities you need to accomplish your computer vision tasks. You will be provided free access to MATLAB for the duration of the specialization to complete your work.

To be successful in this specialization, it will help to have some prior image processing experience. If you are new to image data, it’s recommended to first complete the Image Processing for Engineering and Science specialization.

What's inside

Three courses

Introduction to Computer Vision

In the first course of the Computer Vision for Engineering and Science specialization, you'll be introduced to computer vision. You'll learn and use the most common algorithms for feature detection, extraction, and matching to align satellite images and stitch images together to create a single image of a larger scene.

Machine Learning for Computer Vision

In this course, you will perform two of the most common computer vision tasks: classifying images and detecting objects. You will apply the entire machine learning workflow, from preparing your data to evaluating your results. By the end of this course, you’ll train machine learning models to classify images of street signs and detect material defects.

Object Tracking and Motion Detection with Computer Vision

In this final course of the Computer Vision for Engineering and Science specialization, you will learn to track objects and detect motion in videos. These tasks are essential for applications ranging from microbiology to autonomous systems. You'll use pre-trained deep neural networks for object detection and optical flow for motion detection. The course culminates in a project where you'll track cars on a busy highway, counting each vehicle and its direction.

Learning objectives

  • Use a variety of algorithms to detect & match image features & perform image registration
  • Train image classification & detection models using traditional image features
  • Perform multi-object tracking to count, track, & determine the direction of objects in video files
  • Use deep learning models such as yolo to perform object detection & compare their size and speed
