Hi,

Did you see our recent blog post about image segmentation, one of the most popular computer vision tasks?

Among the latest developments in this field is the state-of-the-art image segmentation model called MaskFormer, proposed by Facebook Research. It's a unified framework for semantic, instance, and panoptic segmentation tasks that has been receiving a lot of attention lately. Our free blog showed you how to:

  • Fine-tune a pre-trained MaskFormer model on the Scene Parsing dataset for instance segmentation
  • Achieve good results after training for a few epochs
  • Upload a model to the Hugging Face 🤗 hub for easy downloading and usage
  • Load datasets with the Datasets library
  • Preprocess datasets with transformers ImageProcessor classes and combine them with Albumentations for data augmentation during training
  • Understand the transformers library's different components and how they are organized to create custom configurations and preprocessing pipelines
  • Use the Evaluate library to benchmark the performance of the fine-tuned model.
And that's just one of hundreds of topics we've turned into easy-to-read, free blog posts.

But, did you know we also create easy-to-follow, fun courses about subjects like this?

The courses are taught by world-class teachers and allow you to go much deeper, much faster. 

And that means you'll quickly be able to master any OpenCV, Computer Vision, or Deep Learning subject! 

To access the courses, all you need to do is join PyImageSearch University.

PyImageSearch University offers a variety of flexible learning options, such as video tutorials, live lectures, and interactive labs. This means that you can learn at your own pace and in your own way, with access to live support from the PyImageSearch team anytime you have a question.

However, you may have seen our recent emails announcing that, following research into our pricing for University, the cost of accessing cutting-edge content like this is jumping to $345 USD.

As a loyal email subscriber, you have until 11.59 pm EDT on Friday, April 14 to get it for $264 USD and save $81 USD/year.

Join today, before the price goes up, and find yourself in company like this:

For anyone else reading here and wondering if you can learn computer vision or not I say go for it. The PyImageSearch material is somewhat expensive at first glance, but it if you stick with it you will discover that it is actually a huge bargain, as there is nothing else close to it in terms of clarity and overall quality. Adrian and his team are masterful at explaining things step by step, in essence spoon-feeding you what you need to learn. The code provided just works, and if you need help on details or stumbling blocks the support is quick and helpful. That's been my experience so far anyway — I'm sold and I recommend it highly.
