Computer Vision Essentials

Learn how machines see: image representation, CNNs, transformers, and where vision models fail.

intermediate · 45 minutes

This course builds an intermediate, conceptual foundation in modern computer vision. You will learn how images become numbers, how the core vision tasks differ, why convolutional networks and vision transformers work, and how transfer learning and multimodal models are used in practice. We finish with the failure modes every practitioner must anticipate: adversarial examples, distribution shift, and dataset bias.
