Computer vision is one of the most widely studied sub-fields of computer science. It has several important applications, such as face detection, image searching, and artistic image conversion. With the popularity of deep learning methods, many recent applications of computer vision are in self-driving cars, robotics, medicine, Virtual reality, and Augmented reality. In this book, a practical approach of learning computer vision is shown. Using code blocks as well as a theoretical understanding of algorithms will help in building stronger computer vision fundamentals. This book teaches you how to create applications using standard tools such as OpenCV, Keras, and TensorFlow. The various concepts and implementations explained in this book can be used across several domains, such as robotics, image editing apps, and self-driving cars. In this book, each chapter is explained with accompanying code and results to enforce the learning together.

Overview of this book
In this book, you will find several recently proposed methods in various domains of computer vision. You will start by setting up the proper Python environment to work on practical applications. This includes setting up libraries such as OpenCV, TensorFlow, and Keras using Anaconda. Using these libraries, you'll start to understand the concepts of image transformation and filtering. You will find a detailed explanation of feature detectors such as FAST and ORB; you'll use them to find similar-looking objects.
With an introduction to convolutional neural nets, you will learn how to build a deep neural net using Keras and how to use it to classify the Fashion-MNIST dataset. With regard to object detection, you will learn the implementation of a simple face detector as well as the workings of complex deep-learning-based object detectors such as Faster R-CNN and SSD using TensorFlow. You'll get started with semantic segmentation using FCN models and track objects with Deep SORT. Not only this, you will also use Visual SLAM techniques such as ORB-SLAM on a standard dataset.
By the end of this book, you will have a firm understanding of the different computer vision techniques and how to apply them in your applications.
