TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER VISION WITH WATSON AND OPENCV
by MONov 12, 2019
Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Learned about OpenCV a bit and added to my small knowledge of Python. The ability to know how to train Watson to do optical recognizition will be invaluable.

Course is good but Watson service in IBM Cloud ran into issues repeatedly, Unfortunately! I hope IBM and community will be able to support and guide better. Thanks for the course.
