Deep Learning in Computer Vision from Coursera

Deep learning added a huge boost to the already rapidly developing field of computer vision. With deep learning, a lot of new applications of computer vision techniques have been introduced and are now becoming parts of our everyday lives. These include face recognition and indexing, photo stylization or machine vision in self-driving cars. The goal of this online course is to introduce students to computer vision, starting from basics and then turning to more modern deep learning models. We will cover both image and video recognition, including image classification and annotation, object recognition and image search, various object detection techniques, motion estimation, object tracking in video, human action recognition, and finally image stylization, editing and new image generation. In the course project, students will learn how to build face recognition and manipulation system to understand the internal mechanics of this technology, probably the most renown and often demonstrated in movies and TV-shows example of computer vision and AI.

Reviews summary

Computer vision concepts

A graduate-level course in computer vision. Coursework follows technical developments and includes image recognition, 3D reconstruction, and more. Assignments include implementing object detectors and face recognition. There is a mixture of positive and negative feedback. Be aware of issues with peer grading and assignments written in Python 2.

Builds Practical Skills

"You'll implement basic edge detectors from scratch, perform image correction, keypoints regression, face detection and recognition and you'll also implement image generation!"

"Pros : 1. Fantastic real-life assignments, which require knowledge and coding ability to build and fine tune realistic deep learning models."

Lack of Instructor Support

"no support present. "

"Teachers are absent from the forums, assignments contain broken links to the datasets, and the video content is read mechanically by the teachers."

Unclear Expectations

"This course is a non-starter. no clear explant=ations and even in my first week I have already spent more time trying to understand what is being asked of me rather than learning."

"this course is really hard to follow, the lectrurer basically reads from the slides instead of explaining, plus it is really hard to follow him with his accent."

Peer Graded Assignments

"assignments are not uniform. it did not give a uniform environments."

"There is absolutely some valuable content in here, but it's overwhelmed by the course's problems."

"I'm going to have to abandon this entire sequence because of this course."

"assignments are very badly structured."

Unclear Presentations

"I found it useful as a very general overview. I could then go to other sources and the specific technical and research literature and go from there."

"Also the dojo are rater 1h or 2h or so, they are in general really tricky and require a lot of experimenting, and often many hours of training. Witch does not match the anounced time requirement."

"Lectures are a cute introduction but not a profundization."

Outdated Materials

"The coding examples generally don't work. Out of date."

"Three of the first four programming assignments are in python2 for no reason, with no reason to think they'll be updated as the packages get more and more out of date and the hoops you have to jump through get more and more obscure."

"Sometimes the length of the videos are long and concepts presented are so unclear that, searching and learning by myself would take way longer than estimated time of 1 week."

Challenging Assignments

"By far, this course has the most challenging assignments in the specialization with an inherent relationship among several weeks project. Took hours and hours to beat the passing score."

"4, But when you finished the course, you will learn a lot things."
