Deep Learning for Computer Vision

Deep learning has shown its power in several application areas of Artificial Intelligence, especially in Computer Vision. Computer Vision is the science of understanding and manipulating images, and finds enormous applications in the areas of robotics, automation, and so on. This book will also show you, with practical examples, how to develop Computer Vision applications by leveraging the power of deep learning.

In this book, you will learn different techniques related to object classification, object detection, image segmentation, captioning, image generation, face analysis, and more. You will also explore their applications using popular Python libraries such as TensorFlow and Keras. This book will help you master state-of-the-art, deep learning algorithms and their implementation.

What you will learn:

Set up an environment for deep learning with Python, TensorFlow, and Keras
Define and train a model for image and video classification
Use features from a pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network model for image retrieval
Understand and implement object detection using the real-world Pedestrian Detection scenario
Learn about various problems in image captioning and how to overcome them by training images and text together
Implement similarity matching and train a model for face recognition
Understand the concept of generative models and use them for image generation
Deploy your deep learning models and optimize them for high performance

This book is targeted at data scientists and Computer Vision practitioners who wish to apply the concepts of Deep Learning to overcome any problem related to Computer Vision. A basic knowledge of programming in Python-and some understanding of machine learning concepts-is required to get the best out of this book.
