Program Details
PROGRAM OVERVIEW - WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS PROGRAM?
Why should I enroll in 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.What jobs will this program prepare me for?
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.How do I know if this program is right for me?
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.
