Deep learning is a state-of-the-art form of machine learning that is reaching its best accuracy in image classification and speech recognition. Deep learning is also used in other fields, such as robotics and artificial intelligence with reinforcement learning. This is the main reason OpenCV is making significant efforts to include deep learning at its core. We are going to learn the basic use of OpenCV deep learning interfaces and look at using them in two use cases: object detection and face detection.
In this chapter, we are going to learn the basics of deep learning and see how to use it in OpenCV. To reach our objective, we are going to learn object detection and classification using the you only look once (YOLO) algorithm.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- What is deep learning?
- How OpenCV works with deep learning and implementing...
