Journocoders: Computer vision for AI image and video analysis with Roboflow

​This month we'll be learning how to use computer vision for AI-powered image and video analysis with Roboflow.

​Computer vision is a field of AI that enables computers to 'see' — to interpret data from images and videos. Roboflow is a platform for training and running computer vision models. There are general purpose models that will identify common objects, but many of the most interesting applications require further training these models to identify specific things — different makes of car, different breeds of cat, etc.

​For example, Bloomberg used computer vision and a camera pointed out the office window to work out if NYC's new congestion pricing scheme was working.

​In this session we'll be following a tutorial that will get us started with computer vision. We'll understand a bit about how it works, then train our own model by giving it labelled examples to learn from. Then we'll test it out and see how it performs!

​​​​All of our events are suitable for beginners, and no programming experience is required. Bring a laptop along as this a practical, hands-on workshop. Please also sign up for a Dropbox account if you don't already have one so you can edit the shared doc we'll be using during the event. For this session you will also need to sign up to Roboflow.
