Companion code and notes for a free 4-hour Python and OpenCV course published on freeCodeCamp. It covers image/video basics, color spaces, thresholding, edge detection, face detection and recognition, and a deep learning capstone project.

Use cases

• learn opencv with python from scratch
• tutorial on face detection with haar cascades
• example code for image transformations and contour detection
• learn color space conversions in opencv
• build a simpsons character classifier with deep learning
• understand thresholding and edge detection in opencv
• face recognition with lbph in python

When to choose

• you are a beginner wanting a structured, video-backed introduction to OpenCV in Python
• you want runnable example code covering both classic CV and a deep learning capstone
• you prefer free course material with timestamps and a clear outline

When to avoid

• you need production-ready computer vision code or a maintained library
• you want up-to-date best practices, since some course content (e.g., caer.train_val_split) is deprecated
• you need advanced or comprehensive OpenCV coverage beyond a 4-hour intro
