📘 Module 1: Introduction to Computer Vision

Welcome to Module 1, where we lay the foundations of Computer Vision. In this module you’ll discover what Computer Vision really means, explore its most compelling applications across industry and research, and understand how images are formed and captured by cameras and sensors. By the end of this module, you’ll be comfortable with the basic terminology and mathematical concepts that underpin everything we’ll build in later modules.

Topics
