📢 Guide to Underwater Image Enhancement Using OpenCV
🤔Have you ever captured breathtaking underwater footage, only to be disappointed by poor visibility, muted colours, and that familiar bluish-green haze? You’re not alone.
As depth increases, vibrant tones like red, orange, and yellow fade first, leaving images dull and low in contrast. But here’s the good news: with the right image processing techniques, you can bring those colours back to life.
📃In our latest blog, we break down a multi-stage enhancement pipeline using OpenCV in Python that tackles the toughest underwater imaging challenges.

✨ Celebrating Technical Brilliance: Introducing Our Star Performer, DAVIDE COGLIATI! ✨

At OpenCV University, we love it when thoughtful engineering meets creative problem-solving. This month, we’re thrilled to recognize Davide, Project Developer & CTO at SOFTSYSCO GENTECH, and a freelance researcher building specialized electronics and future-facing devices, as our Star Performer of the Month.
🏆What earned Davide the spotlight
Davide’s progress across the program has been remarkable, CVIP 70%, MOCV 96%, and DLPT 71% but what really impressed his mentors is his curiosity, his drive to go beyond what’s asked, and his focus on design and usability.
A few highlights: his blemish-removal project had the smooth, engaging flow of a video game; in the coin detection assignment, he didn’t just solve the given example but also tested it on real-world images; in the autofocus assignment, he ran experiments to compare both methods in depth; and in the structuring-element assignment, he delivered an output video that was not only correct but aesthetically pleasing. Across projects, his submissions consistently showed creativity, rigor, and a willingness to dig a layer deeper than the prompt.

📈A learning path that worked
Coming from end-to-end product work, from circuit design to firmware, Davide wanted a structured, noise-free route into AI and computer vision. He found momentum with our organized curriculum, discussion boards in every lesson, and quick mentor support that kept the learning loop tight.

In Davide’s words:
“I am a project developer, starting with the design of the circuit, up to code with the necessary firmware. I have been interested in adding more to my work, namely AI & Computer Vision. But just looking on the web I found it a very confusing approach. I was impressed with OpenCV’s Course Content. ”

Congratulations, Davide! Your blend of rigor, creativity, and product sense raises the bar for our community. Drop a 👏 to celebrate his work, and stay tuned as we share more learner spotlights.

🌟 Celebrating Engineering Excellence: Meet Our Star Performer, Enmanuel Sancho!

At OpenCV University, we're consistently inspired by the brilliance of our students, and today, we're thrilled to shine a spotlight on Enmanuel Sancho. As a Machine Learning Engineer and Director de Tecnología at GreenChain in Costa Rica, Enmanuel exemplifies dedication, innovative thinking, and an exceptional drive for mastery.

A Testament to Deep Understanding & Skill

Enmanuel's academic performance is truly outstanding, reflecting his profound understanding and meticulous approach:

Computer Vision in C++ (CVIP C++): 100%
Deep Learning with PyTorch (DLPT 2.X): 99%

His submissions were incredibly detailed. For example in the Coin Detection Assignment, he explained his complete thought process. For the Autofocus Assignment, only the top two methodologies are expected, but he researched and added two more methods to solve.

His consistent excellence was also reflected in his 99% course grade in the PyTorch course. He achieved an impressive 95% Kaggle score on Project 1 with a lean, thoughtful model, conducting several training experiments with different hyperparameters, and a 76% accuracy on an imbalanced dataset in Project 2 using a smaller ResNet-18 model. For Project 3, he reached a solid 74% Kaggle score with a lightweight DeepLabV3 backbone. His careful model choices, which favored optimized training and lightweight architectures while still achieving strong accuracy, were particularly commendable.

Enmanuel's journey with us wasn't just about scores; It was about a truly rewarding learning experience. He particularly valued the program's asynchronous structure, which allowed him to set his own pace. He praised the balanced and in-depth explanatory videos, which prepared him thoroughly for projects. The thoughtful course design, where modules built brilliantly on each other, provided a real sense of accomplishment. Finally, he greatly appreciated the excellent and efficient support that consistently exceeded his expectations and have also given us appropriate and constructive feedback for making our courses better.

Join Us in Applauding Enmanuel!

Enmanuel's blend of technical prowess, innovative problem-solving, and a thirst for deep understanding makes him an inspiring figure. We are incredibly proud to have him as part of the OpenCV University community.

Congratulations once again, Enmanuel Sancho – your dedication and talent are truly exceptional!
