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.

Implementing a CNN for object recognition

Object recognition is the ability to find a specific object in a sequence of images or videos. Human beings are able to recognize different objects in images with little effort, despite the fact that the image of objects may vary. Furthermore, objects can be recognized, even when they are partially out of view. This task is still a challenge for computer vision in general.

For each object in an image, there are many interesting characteristics. These can be extracted so as to provide a description of the object. This description can then be used to identify this object when trying to locate it in a test image containing multiple objects. It is important that the set of characteristics extracted from the sample image is insensitive to image scale variations, disturbances, illumination, and geometric distortions, in order to make the recognition...
