Deep Learning with GPU-accelerated Python for applied computer vision – Pavement Distress

Let's now talk about applications in computer vision for image detection. Note the following photo of a pavement. It is cracked and damaged:

There can be many more such images collectively referred to as datasets. You can find more here: pxhere.com/en/photo/690701.

The previous pavement photos were captured with a Sony Cybershot DSC-RX100M4 20.1 Megapixel digital camera on 03/09/2017. Python can make use of GPUs to accelerate deep learning and classify/identify such images. It is one of the many applications in computer vision.

The following paper is a review on pavement distress detection. It talks about computer vision-based automated pavement distress detection...
