Overview

Are you interested in artificial intelligence and real-world applications of computer vision? Do you want to build a smart system that can detect and track mice in real-time - using only your laptop and a camera?This hands-on mini-course will walk you through building a Mouse Detection System using Python, OpenCV, and deep learning models like YOLO (You Only Look Once). It's perfect for anyone looking to learn AI through practical projects with real-world value.Here's what you'll do:Set up your environment using Python, OpenCV, and deep learning librariesUse trained models like YOLO for fast and accurate mouse detectionCollect and label your own dataset of mouse images Train a custom model if you want to detect mice in specific environmentsProcess live video streams from a webcam or surveillance footageVisualize and track mice in real-time with bounding boxes and confidence scoresUse Cases Include:Lab animal monitoring in research facilitiesWarehouse rodent detection for pest controlSmart farming and automated surveillanceHome automation for pet or pest observationWhat You'll Gain:Solid understanding of how computer vision and AI models workReal skills in handling video streams, detection algorithms, and data labelingA strong portfolio project that stands out to clients or employersInsight into real-time detection challenges like low light, motion blur, and cluttered environmentsTools and Skills:Python - beginner-friendly, yet powerfulOpenCV - essential for image and video processingYOLO - a state-of-the-art object detection modelLabeling Tools - like LabelImg or Roboflow for dataset preparationNo prior AI experience? No problem. This project starts from scratch and gradually builds up your skills with clear, step-by-step guidance. You'll finish with a complete, working system - and the confidence to build more advanced AI projects.So, are you ready to track mice using AI and your camera?Let's build something smart and fun.Important Note:Some of the core tools and workflows used in this course - such as Roboflow, labeling, and model training - may also appear in my other courses.However, each course is built around a completely different dataset, project goal, and real-world application.Even when similar tools are used, the challenges, outcomes, and final use cases are entirely unique in each course.This course is self-contained and designed to deliver a specific learning experience related to its own topic.
