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.

Transfer Learning and Deep CNN Architectures

In this chapter, we'll discuss the classical convolutional neural networks (CNN) that greatly influence computer vision. We will present two advanced architectures: the residual neural network, which solves the problem of training deep neural networks, and the inception network, or GoogLeNet, which dramatically improves computation efficiency through the use of one-by-one convolution.

Next up, we'll gain insights into transfer learning and explore several ways to use it to train neural networks efficiently. Finally, we'll use transfer learning techniques and the VGG-16 architecture to build an animal recognizer Java application and run it through a graphical user interface with several examples.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Working with classical networks
  • Using residual networks for image recognition...
