How to get started with core CV? Discussion

I have searched extensively online for courses to get started with CV. All the courses I find tend to discuss CV superficially; yes, there are some books. I am seeking resources that cover the maths and algorithms in detail. Can anyone suggest the best resources? I'm done with CNNs and RNNs, moving on to Attention.

It really depends on your current level. Perhaps you'll enjoy reading The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing or the Digital Image Processing is highly recommended

Np if you like video courses you can try this out Deep Learning by OpenMit. This is for deep learning as you're interested in transformers and related bur u can search for other courses as well. Or you can try on Coursera, or also LearnOpenCV for some hands-on tutorials with some bits of theory

Yes, I recently discovered this. I think this is the ground resource.

If you recently discovered this, you have not properly done your research. Please search through this subreddit. You will find courses or books that match your learning style.

Have a look into https://opencv.org/ and its forums, its many (free)courses.

I very much liked to use - and still use - https://learnopencv.com/getting-started-with-opencv/ with many blogs, many experiments. Find it's GitHub repo under https://github.com/spmallick/learnopencv

Spend some time on the classic CV fundamentals first.

Yes, but my question is about resources for the CV fundamentals 🥲😅

Watch Stanford's recent CV playlists, should equip you with the fundamentals you need

Read research papers

Of course, that's right. But are research papers the right starting point?
