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.

Detecting objects with the YOLO algorithm

In this section, we're going to see how the YOLO algorithm works. YOLO stands for you only look once. The name comes from the fact that you need only one execution of the neural network to get all predictions, which is possible because of the use of convolutional sliding windows.

YOLO solves the problem of the bounding box's accuracy. So as we saw in the previous section, we had this image:

With the help of the convolutional sliding window, we were able to detect all the window's predictions with one execution. So, for each of these windows, we can detect whether the selected pixels represent a car.

Now the problem is that even if we can do that, this window is kind of steady, making it incapable of representing a good bounding box. Observe the image carefully to notice that none of the cars is in a good bounding box.
