Keras 2.x Projects

By: Giuseppe Ciaburro

Overview of this book

Keras 2.x Projects explains how to leverage the power of Keras to build and train state-of-the-art deep learning models through a series of practical projects that look at a range of real-world application areas. To begin with, you will quickly set up a deep learning environment by installing the Keras library. Through each of the projects, you will explore and learn the advanced concepts of deep learning and will learn how to compute and run your deep learning models using the advanced offerings of Keras. You will train fully-connected multilayer networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, autoencoders and generative adversarial networks using real-world training datasets. The projects you will undertake are all based on real-world scenarios of all complexity levels, covering topics such as language recognition, stock volatility, energy consumption prediction, faster object classification for self-driving vehicles, and more. By the end of this book, you will be well versed with deep learning and its implementation with Keras. You will have all the knowledge you need to train your own deep learning models to solve different kinds of problems.

Understanding computer vision concepts

Vision is perhaps the most important sense for human beings. It allows you to interact with the three-dimensional world, allowing for the recognition and location of objects in a scene; more generally, it allows us to perceive the rapid changes that take place in our surrounding environment. Of all of our sensory abilities, vision is widely recognized as the one with the greatest potential. Our eyes collect a band of electromagnetic radiation, which is rebounded on different surfaces and comes from different light sources, while the brain processes this information by forming the picture of the scene as we perceive it.

Computer vision is a discipline that studies how to enable computers to understand and interpret visual information that's present in images or videos. It also deals with the analysis of numerical images on the computer...
