On September 27, 2024, AJK College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore (Autonomous), an A+ Accredited Institution by NAAC, took a significant step in enhancing its educational offerings by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Yale IT Skill Hub, Coimbatore. This collaboration, initiated by the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML), aims to equip students with practical skills through a comprehensive workshop focused on OpenCV.

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open-source software library designed for real-time computer vision and image processing. It was initially developed by Intel and is now maintained by an open-source community. OpenCV provides a wide range of tools and functions that allow developers to perform complex operations related to image and video processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence

The workshop, led by Mr.J. Mohan Raj, an experienced AI and ML developer from Yale IT Skill Hub, provided students with hands-on experience using OpenCV. The purpose of the workshop was to enable students to apply theoretical concepts through practical coding exercises and real-world projects. Participants were encouraged to develop their own applications using OpenCV, fostering creativity and innovative problem-solving. Additionally, the workshop facilitated knowledge-sharing, networking opportunities, and in-depth discussions among students and industry experts.

Throughout the session, students gained a solid understanding of essential OpenCV concepts, including image processing and computer vision techniques. Live demonstrations complemented the theoretical learning, allowing students to follow along with coding exercises. This interactive environment not only encouraged continuous feedback but also created a constructive learning experience.

Feedback from students highlighted the effectiveness of the workshop. Many appreciated the hands-on exercises and live coding demonstrations, which made the learning process engaging and practical. The interactive elements, such as coding challenges and Q&A sessions, reinforced their understanding of complex topics. Participants noted that Mr.J. Mohan Raj explained intricate subjects in a straightforward manner, making them accessible even to beginners. Overall, the workshop was well-organized, covering a broad spectrum of topics from basic image manipulation to advanced techniques like object detection, ensuring that the pacing was just right for all attendees.

This collaboration signifies AJK College's commitment to providing students with innovative educational experiences, preparing them for future challenges in the rapidly evolving fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
