TBDSG: Intro to OpenCV (computer vision) WORKSHOP

Amy will give us a presentation (maybe a workshop) on the opencv computer vision package.

It will go something like this:

Intro to OpenCV:

• getting started
• paint! but with code!
• understanding different computer vision problems
• face/object detection
• real time video analysis
• masking
• feature matching
• object tracking
• identifying text
• extracting text and misc. features for solving business problems

We'll be trying this in a workshop format so bring a laptop with opencv-contrib-python and dependencies installed if you can. pypi has some helpful tips if you have trouble (Windows).

https://pypi.org/project/opencv-contrib-python/
pip install opencv-contrib-python
