Convolutional Neural Network Architectures

In this chapter, we'll explore edge detection as one of the most fundamental and widely-used techniques in computer vision. Then, we'll look at edge detection in action, using a number of features and images, by building a Java application that detects edges on different images. As a next step, we'll detail how to use edge detection or convolution with colored RGB images so that we can capture even more features from images. We'll present them using several parameters, which will enable us to control the output of the convolution operation. Then, we'll look at a slightly different type of filter, the pooling layers, and one of the most frequently used: the max pooling layer. After that, we'll put all the pieces together for the purpose of building and training a convolution neural network. Finally, we&apos...

Description

Although machine learning is an exciting world to explore, you may feel confused by all of its theoretical aspects. As a Java developer, you will be used to telling the computer exactly what to do, instead of being shown how data is generated; this causes many developers to struggle to adapt to machine learning. The goal of this book is to walk you through the process of efficiently training machine learning and deep learning models for Computer Vision using the most up-to-date techniques. The book is designed to familiarize you with neural networks, enabling you to train them efficiently, customize existing state-of-the-art architectures, build real-world Java applications, and get great results in a short space of time. You will build real-world Computer Vision applications, ranging from a simple Java handwritten digit recognition model to real-time Java autonomous car driving systems and face recognition models. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the best practices and modern techniques needed to build advanced Computer Vision Java applications and achieve production-grade accuracy.
