Computer Vision with OpenCV
The TCEF IT Club is proudly announcing the 1st computer vision class in RTP for middle/high school students!
- Experience one of the latest and hottest IT technologies!
Computer vision is the most important technology in robotics and AI. - Practice makes perfect! This is a great change for you to improve your Python programming skills.
- Having the computer vision background is also helpful for students to apply college research internship projects in computer science and artificial intelligence areas.
- Online interactive lectures with live teachers. Enjoy the classes at anywhere with Internet.
- Offline study group meetings for improving programming skills, motivating students, and have fun together!

Description:
In this class, we have developed many easy to follow, carefully designed examples and projects for kids with limited math and programming skills. Our course focus on computer vision concepts and problem solving skills by using existing computer vision software frameworks.
Computer vision is the most important technology in robotics and AI. OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision. It is one of the most popular tools for facial recognition and object detection, used in a wide variety of applications like security, medical diagnosis, and photography, and it powers a lot of cutting-edge technologies, including self driving cars, augmented reality and robotics.
OpenCV is an open source library that has existed for more than 20 years. Nowadays, the OpenCV library has become relative easy to use and require only basic Python programming skills.
Topics included in this class:
- Image data structures
- Basic image manipulations
- Creating special Photoshop effects using openCV
- Object detection and tracking
- Face detection
- Snapchat face filters
- Lane detection for self driving cars
