On average, successful students take 3 months to complete this program.
The demand for engineers with computer vision and deep learning skills far exceeds the current supply. This program offers a unique opportunity to develop these in-demand skills and is for anyone seeking to launch or advance their skills in modern computer vision techniques. You’ll complete several computer vision applications using a combination of Python, computer vision, and deep learning libraries that will serve as portfolio pieces that demonstrate the skills you’ve acquired.
This program is designed to build on your skills in machine learning and deep learning. As such, it doesn't prepare you for a specific job, but expands your skills in the computer vision domain. These skills can be applied to various applications such as image and video processing, automated vehicles, smartphone apps, and more.
If you’re new to Computer Vision, and eager to explore applications like facial recognition and object tracking, the Computer Vision Nanodegree program is an ideal choice. The curriculum introduces you to image analysis with Python and OpenCV, then goes on to cover deep learning techniques that can be applied to a variety of image classification and regression tasks. Over the course of the program, you’ll leverage your Python coding experience to build a broad portfolio of applications that showcase your newly-acquired Computer Vision skills.
No. This Nanodegree program accepts all applicants regardless of experience and specific background.
You must have completed a course in Deep Learning equivalent to the Deep Learning Nanodegree program prior to entering the program. Additionally, you should have the following knowledge: Intermediate Python programming knowledge, including:
Basic shell scripting:
Basic statistical knowledge, including:
Intermediate differential calculus and linear algebra, including:
We have a number of courses and programs we can recommend that will help prepare you for the program, depending on the areas you need to address. For example:
The Computer Vision Nanodegree program is comprised of content and curriculum to support three (3) projects. We estimate that students can complete the program in three (3) months working 10 hours per week.
Each project will be reviewed by the Udacity reviewer network. Feedback will be provided and if you do not pass the project, you will be asked to resubmit the project until it passes.
Access to this Nanodegree program runs for the length of time specified above. If you do not graduate within that time period, you will continue learning with month-to-month payments. See the Terms of Use and FAQs for other policies regarding the terms of access to our Nanodegree programs.
Please see the Udacity Program FAQs for policies on enrollment in our programs.
Many of our graduates continue on to our Artificial Intelligence Nanodegree program, Natural Language Processing Nanodegree Program, Robotics Engineer Nanodegree program, and our Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree programs. Feel free to explore other Nanodegree program options as well.
You will need a computer running a 64-bit operating system (most modern Windows, OS X, and Linux versions will work) with at least 8GB of RAM, along with administrator account permissions sufficient to install programs including Anaconda with Python 3.5 and supporting packages. Your network should allow secure connections to remote hosts (like SSH). We will provide you with instructions to install the required software packages. Udacity does not provide any hardware.
