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.

Face Recognition

In this chapter, we will explore the challenges and the solutions related to the face recognition problem. Therefore, we are going to first present the face recognition problem nature and the similarity function as the general high-level solution. Then, we will introduce Siamese networks, which, together with the similarity function, constitute the fundamental techniques for solving face detection in an efficient manner. From there, we will proceed with two ways that have shown excellent results in training the convolutional neural network for face detection; the triplet loss function and binary classification. Finally, we will see how to use inception network like GoogLeNet and similar transfer learning and the triplet cost function to build the Java face recognition application. Additionally, we will be going through the code details and building a Java application...
