Best Computer Vision Blogs [2024]

How do I learn more about, and stay up to date with, computer vision? That’s a great question.

Because computer vision is both a mature field with decades of history and also an active area of research, there are many educational resources available that cover both the fundamentals and the cutting edge. These include YouTube channels, online courses, and blogs.

In this guide, we are going to walk through five blogs to follow to learn more about computer vision. We will also include a few sources where you can stay up to date with the latest papers. Without further ado, let’s get started!

Roboflow

The Roboflow Blog covers everything from image labeling and augmentation to deploying computer vision models in the cloud and on the edge. Over the last few years, over 800 blog posts on computer vision have been published.

You can follow the Roboflow Blog to stay up to date with the latest models, and find the code and guidance you need to be successful with those models. For example, guides on SAM 2, YOLO11, and Florence-2 were all published within the first few days of each model’s release.

Looking for a place to get started? Here are a few posts we recommend:

Learn OpenCV

The Learn OpenCV Blog, run by the maintainers of the foundational OpenCV Python package, covers the latest in computer vision and how to use OpenCV. On their blog, you can find guides on everything from models like DETR to DINO to OpenCV tutorials like reading, displaying, and writing images.

NVIDIA Blog

NVIDIA actively publishes content about artificial intelligence on its company blog, including case studies of how companies are thinking about using frontier technologies. For example, NVIDIA published a blog post that documents how Siemens are moving toward net-zero manufacturing with digital twins being a part of its solution.

You can find posts more specifically about computer vision on the Computer Vision / Video Analytics section of the NVIDIA Technical Blog. Here are a few examples of posts that represent the wide variety of vision content available on the technical blog.

Arxiv cs.CV Computer Vision Papers Feed

If you are interested in following the latest computer vision papers, we recommend following the cs.CV feed on Arxiv. Updated every weekday, this page shows all the papers published under the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition category on Arxiv.

You can also subscribe to the feed in an RSS reader, allowing you to stay up to date without visiting the site daily.

Of note, there can be dozens of papers published in a day. Thus, you may want to look out for specific keywords rather than trying to skim every paper.

Hugging Face Papers

Hugging Face, maintainers of the popular Transformers deep learning Python package, run a web page called Hugging Face Papers in which they curate recently-released papers of particular interest.

While Hugging Face Papers is more focused on natural language processing than vision, you can often find multimodal models within the Papers feed.

Towards Data Science

Towards Data Science refers to themselves as a “home for data science.” On Towards Data Science, you can find blog posts on many data science, machine learning, and computer vision topics.

For example, you can explore the basics of computer vision all the way to the mathematics behind neural networks and building your own CNN in NumPy. 

PyImageSearch

PyImageSearch publishes detailed guides on a wide range of computer vision topics, from image processing to OCR to object detection. You can navigate through the topics on their blog from the “Topics” dropdown in the navigation bar.

There are over 350 free tutorials available to read on PyImageSearch.

Conclusion

In this guide, we discussed six blogs from which you can learn about and stay up to date with computer vision: the Roboflow Blog, Learn OpenCV, Arxiv’s Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition feed, Hugging Face Papers, Towards Data Science, and PyImageSearch.

We recommend exploring different blogs to see which ones publish content that is most relevant and interesting to you. Many of the blogs above also have RSS feeds so you can stay up to date on new headlines with ease.
