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.

Convolutional sliding window

In this section, we'll resolve the downsides of using a sliding window by using a convolutional sliding window and gain some intuition behind this technique.

Before we delve into this new method, we need to modify the convolution architecture that we've used so far.

Here is a typical CNN:

We have the input, an red, green, and blue (RGB) image with three channels, and here we'll use a small 32 x 32 image. This is followed by a convolution that leaves the first two dimensions unchanged and increases the number of channels to 64, the max pooling layer divides the first two dimensions by 2, and leaves the number of channels unchanged. In this example, we have two layers. In practical architectures, there are several layers. In the end, we'll have the fully-connected layers with neurons. Here, we have two heightened layers, one with...
