Overview of this book

Deep learning is rapidly becoming the most popular topic in the mobile app industry. This book introduces trending deep learning concepts and their use cases with an industrial and application-focused approach. You will cover a range of projects covering tasks such as mobile vision, facial recognition, smart artificial intelligence assistant, augmented reality, and more. With the help of eight projects, you will learn how to integrate deep learning processes into mobile platforms, iOS, and Android. This will help you to transform deep learning features into robust mobile apps efficiently. You’ll get hands-on experience of selecting the right deep learning architectures and optimizing mobile deep learning models while following an application oriented-approach to deep learning on native mobile apps. We will later cover various pre-trained and custom-built deep learning model-based APIs such as machine learning (ML) Kit through Firebase. Further on, the book will take you through examples of creating custom deep learning models with TensorFlow Lite. Each project will demonstrate how to integrate deep learning libraries into your mobile apps, right from preparing the model through to deployment. By the end of this book, you’ll have mastered the skills to build and deploy deep learning mobile applications on both iOS and Android.

Creating a Flutter application

After successfully creating the TensorFlow Lite model for recognizing a wide variety of plant species, let's now create a Flutter application for running the TensorFlow Lite model on mobile devices. The application will have two screens. The first screen will contain two buttons for letting the user choose between two different models—the Cloud Vision API and the TensorFlow Lite model—that could be used to make predictions on any chosen image. The second screen will contain a Floating Action Button (FAB) to enable the user to choose images from the device's gallery, an image view to display the image chosen by the user, and a text to display the predictions using the chosen model.

The following screenshot illustrates the flow of the application:

Now, let's look at the steps to build the application.
