How does a face swap work? What is computer vision?
In this course, we will explore computer vision fundamentals as you build a Snapchat-esque face swap application; for those unfamiliar with Snapchat, this filter will detect pairs of faces and swap them, making for a silly effect. This class was made for beginners that have a little familiarity with machine learning and coding. If you aren’t already familiar, that’s okay, these two courses will you caught up quickly:
- To learn Python, I suggest taking my Coding 101: Python for Beginners course.
- To learn the basics of AI and machine learning, take my Artificial Intelligence MasterClass: Tools to Master Machine Learning course.
We’ll cover many topics and takeaways:
- Build a Face Swapping application
- What computer vision is
- Break down face swapping AI products into ML problems
- Break down face detection ML problem
- Understand taxonomies of computer vision problems
- Computer vision concepts like filters, feature extraction, detection etc.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a face-swapping application for you to play with. Show it off to your friends and family!
