Raspberry Pi + OpenCV for Facial Recognition Training Course

Duration

21 hours (usually 3 days including breaks)

Requirements

  • Some programming experience
  • Experience with the Linux command line

Audience

  • Developers
  • Hardware/software technicians
  • Technical persons in all industries
  • Hobbyists

Overview

This instructor-led, live training introduces the software, hardware, and step-by-step process needed to build a facial recognition system from scratch. Facial Recognition is also known as Face Recognition.

The hardware used in this lab includes Rasberry Pi, a camera module, servos (optional), etc. Participants are responsible for purchasing these components themselves. The software used includes OpenCV, Linux, Python, etc.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Install Linux, OpenCV and other software utilities and libraries on a Rasberry Pi.
  • Configure OpenCV to capture and detect facial images.
  • Understand the various options for packaging a Rasberry Pi system for use in real-world environments.
  • Adapt the system for a variety of use cases, including surveillance, identity verification, etc.

Format of the course

  • Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Note

  • Other hardware and software options include: Arduino, OpenFace, Windows, etc. If you wish to use any of these, please contact us to arrange.

Wheeled Robots with Raspberry Pi & Python Basics

Get introduced to wheeled robots and learn the basics of building and controlling them with Python in a simulation

Requirements

  • Basic Computer Usage (Typing, Internet Browsing)

Description

In this course, students will be introduced to wheeled robots, having as an example the Mars Rover and its parts, and gain information about the basic function of different robot parts and particularly the motors. Then, simple assembly information about how to attach motors and wheels to the robot will be presented. Afterwards, students will be introduced to the programming environment and learn how to use variables in the Python programming language, and see how to use simple functions to control their robots in a virtual environment.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginners in Robotics-AI
  • Beginner Python Developers
  • Robotics Hobbyists
