Python Project: Software Engineering and Image Manipulation
This course will walk you through a hands-on project suitable for a portfolio. You will be introduced to third-party APIs and will be shown how to manipulate images using the Python imaging library (pillow), how to apply optical character recognition to images to recognize text (tesseract and pytesseract). By the end of the course you will have worked with these different libraries available for Python 3 to create a real-world project.
The course is best-suited for learners who have taken the first four courses of the Python 3 Programming Specialization. Learners who already have Python programming skills but want to practice with a hands-on, real-world project can also benefit from this course.
This is the fifth and final course in the Python 3 Programming Specialization.
