Computer Vision and Generative AI

Overview

Learn how computers process and understand image data, then harness the power of the latest Generative AI models to create new images.

Syllabus

• Introduction to Image Generation
In this lesson, you will define image generation and understand its relevance in AI and machine learning.
• Computer Vision Fundamentals
Learn how computers see images and perform key image processing techniques using classic image processing techniques such as image transformation, noise reduction, and more.
• Image Generation and GANs
Explore the landscape of Gen AI tools for Computer Vision and learn how they are evaluated. Learn what a generative adversarial network is and how it is utilized to generate images.
• Transformer-Based Computer Vision Models
In this lesson, we will be exploring Vision Transformers and the architecture that makes them work. Along the way we will explore Vision Transformers like DALL-E, DINO, and SAM.
• Diffusion Models
Learn the fundamentals of transformers. Then, get hands-on with the creation of a diffusion algorithm and work with Huggingface Diffusers to generate and work with images.
• Project: AI Photo Editing with Inpainting
In this project, you will utilize Generative AI to take a famous painting and swap out the background with an image generated by Stable Diffusion.
