About the Course

Computer Vision is one of the most exciting fields in Machine Learning and AI. It has applications in many industries, such as self-driving cars, robotics, augmented reality, and much more. In this beginner-friendly course, you will understand computer vision and learn about its various applications across many industries. As part of this course, you will utilize Python, Pillow, and OpenCV for basic image processing and perform image classification and object detection. This is a hands-on course and involves several labs and exercises. Labs will combine Jupyter Labs and Computer Vision Learning Studio (CV Studio), a free learning tool for computer vision. CV Studio allows you to upload, train, and test your own custom image classifier and detection models. At the end of the course, you will create your own computer vision web app and deploy it to the Cloud. This course does not require any prior Machine Learning or Computer Vision experience. However, some knowledge of the Python programming language and high school math is necessary....

Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Learned about OpenCV a bit and added to my small knowledge of Python. The ability to know how to train Watson to do optical recognizition will be invaluable.

This is one of the best course by IBM. I specifically enjoyed Computer Vision modelling and its related project and also enjoyed the way team put in effort for designing this course.

Some of the concepts are not covered enough. The platform was not working properly and it was not possible to finish the final project.

There are too many errors in the capstone section of this course that need to be fixed.

It was an amazing course, however i did face some problems with following the labs.

The content was overall ok, but the final assessment is constructed very badly where code is of very little importance and we are mostly tasked to find images on the net.

There are too many labs, and the final project requires CV studio, which is not working at all

Total waste of time.

The lessons are informational, the quizzes are aligned to check a rough level of basic understanding.

However the labs have barely any relationship, they are far away more advanced than the lesson: they have no learning purpose, there's nothing to experiment.

The code using open-cv and keras should eb straightforward to illustrate the lessons and experiment: both of these libraries work pretty well. However the purpose of this class is to showcase IBM products wrapped on the top of these free libraries, hence adding a level of complexity which should not exist.

Besides, some code is not working, showing that the labs were not reviewed by the staff.

I stopped at the end of the last week when it was time to "deploy" my app thru the IBM product. I spent zero time working on open-cv or on a CNN or even any other ML... I spent time fighting with the wrapping code and IBM app.

My take away based on the title of the course: "introduction to computer vision and image processing".. yes, that was an introduction to talk about it at the office while sipping a coffee. That's pretty much about it.

Not enough focus on Image Detection, Classification and Localization. Many models are already trained and you just evaluate the results. At least, you get to know the names of models that are used and how to execute the code.

The CV Studio platform is broken (which is mandatory to use) and does NOT allow to deploy the model into the Final Exercise Submission. This was VERY sketchy!

Thankfully, the Discussion Forum and Coursera Forum Moderators are very helpful!

Support by IBM on the CV Studio platform is non-existent, the do not even reply, some Lab exercises (2 or 3) are broken and neglected.

Worst course in the learning path so far

Learning content was good, but making assignments was a nigthmare, I could not set up an IBM Cloud account, becasue they could not verify my payment card, when i asked them to help me, they just responded "We have reviewed your account/transaction and will not be able to offer services. No further information will be disclosed regarding this matter. Any card authorizations will reverse within 24-72 hours depending on the issuing bank.". They ghosted me completely and did not want to help. I do not recommend. It's no wonder that with this kind of customer attitude IBM is far behind the competition today.

Compared to the other two courses I took this had very poor support. None of the labs worked as the course author/instructor claimed it works. Course material is difficult and there is no one who can answer questions and tell us why the labs are not working the way they should. Unless coursera improves this course I would not recommend any one take this course. You will have to learn on your own.

Tha Cognitive Class site is quite unstable and it makes this course a very frustrating one, instead of being challenging and interesting.

There are duplicated items, like reading references and course topics.

The labs have lots of mistakes and one has to waste time browsing through the discussion forums to see if any participant has solved the issues, which its regularly the case.

As with several other courses in this track, the Jupyter notebooks in the labs NEED to be updated to include correct code. Learners shouldn't have to hunt through the discussion forums to find code to replace inaccurate code in the lab notebooks, considering how painless it would be to for Coursera or its surrogates to simply update the labs.

Waste of time and energy.

Please don't enroll for this course.

The Visual Recognition on IBM is not free. There is no Lite plan ,

No proper instructions. Very disappointing and unprofessional

Didn't expect this from the standards of IBM

Interesting topic but errors in the labs and in the final project so definitely needs some fine tuning to offer a better student's experience

Very poorly delivered. One of the worst experience and support from Coursera. Felty like wastage of money.

The course is very interesting, they talk in detail about how convolution helps find features in the pictures, you can either choose between using Keras or PyTorch in the final project, which is fantastic, I went the Torch way, because it gives you more control on the final output and shows you the model from the inside. I am planning on doing the Keras route. Only problem I had was with the IBM cloud, since it is a free service, sometimes it is not as responsive as one would wish. The teachers are great, they explain with great detail everything, it is not easy to set up such a complicated subject, for people who might not have the math background to understand what a tensor is and we can use it in computer vision. I am using the resources and method for a personal project that has to do with Art, how can computer vision understand the differences between two artists. This is not just reading, but interpreting, let's see how far I can go. wish me luck!

Everything depends on AI & ML now. Before enrolling in Coursera’s IBM AI Engineering Professional Certificate Course, I had zero knowledge about AI & DL. After completing the course, I am able to use these applications properly. It proved to be a total career game-changer.

Coursera has proven to be a wonderful experience. I have taken classes from other organizations, but there’s no comparison to Coursera.

Highly relevant examples were given which made me get a clear idea of the concepts explained. Deeply appreciate Coursera & IBM for designing this course very well.

Kudos to Instructors Dr Joseph Santarcangelo, Ph.D. & Ms. Aije Egwaikhide for providing such a wonderful learning Journey.

Amazing getting an introduction to IBMs cloud. It will be great to see how various applications are deployed to all industries. Adopting them , and giving them data privacy is also very important , and something IBM is focused on.

This course contains a lot of information, and need time to process the information and practice on writing python codes. Overall is an excellent course.

Great introduction to Visual Recognition and Computer Vision! Lots of examples are provided for me to grasp the concepts behind complicated applications!
