Hands-On Java Deep Learning for Computer Vision

By: Klevis Ramo

Overview of this book

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.

Summary

In this chapter, we studied the architectures of LeNet-5, AlexNet, VGG-16, and ResNet-50. Then, we discussed transfer learning and how we can use it to train our model easily and efficiently. We also learned how to build a cat-and-dog recognizer Java application using the VGG-16 architecture and transfer learning.

In the next chapter, we'll explore real-time object detection, which performs recognition and marks objects with bounding boxes.
