Ask HN: How to get started in Computer Vision?

8 points by Quetelet 11y ago ↗ HN

I've seen a lot of interesting applications of CV in virtual reality (e.g. Oculus Rift) but is it necessary to have a graduate degree in CV to work in the field? What are some introductory materials for someone with a strong background in CS and Math?

I'd say start with OpenCV (http://opencv.org). Go through the code samples that are provided with the library to get a glimpse of different algorithms. Also, there's a lot of stuff on Stackoverflow which should help you to get started.
