Tutorial: Computer Vision and Machine Learning with Python, Keras and OpenCV

Includes a demonstration of concepts with Gesture Recognition.

This was created as part of an educational for the Western Founders Network computer vision and machine learning educational session.

Demo

The final demo can be seen here and below:

Installation Instructions ('$' means run this in terminal/command prompt, do not type '$')

Windows:

Mac/Linux: Manually installing packages

Mac:

  • For Miniconda, open terminal and navigate to the directory you downloaded Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh to and run:

      $ bash Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh
    
  • For Anaconda, double click the Anaconda3-5.0.1-MacOSX-x86_64.pkg file you downloaded

Linux:

  • For Miniconda, open a terminal and navigate to the directory you downloaded Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh to and run:

      $ bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
    
  • For Anaconda, open a terminal and navigate to the directory you downloaded Anaconda3-5.0.1-Linux-x86_64.sh to and run:

      $ bash Anaconda3-5.0.1-Linux-x86_64.sh
    

All Platforms:

  • Create and activate a Python 3.5 conda environment called cv.

      $ conda create -n cv python=3.5
    
      $ source activate cv
    
  • Install Numpy (http://www.numpy.org/)

      $ conda install numpy
    
  • Install Matplotlib (https://matplotlib.org/)

      $ conda install matplotlib
    
  • Install Keras (https://keras.io/)

      $ conda install keras
    
    • This should also install tensorflow
  • Install h5py (http://www.h5py.org/)

      $ conda install h5py
    
  • Install Jupyter Notebook (http://jupyter.org/)

      $ conda install jupyter notebook
    
  • Install IPython (https://ipython.org/)

      $ conda install ipython
    
  • Install OpenCV3 (https://opencv.org/)

      $ conda install -c conda-forge opencv 
    

    if the import cv2 does not work with this install, try instead:

      $ conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/menpo opencv3
