Semantic segmentation is the task of understanding and classifying the content of an image at the pixel level. Unlike object detection, where a rectangular bounding box is drawn over multiple object classes (similar to what we learned about YOLOV3), semantic segmentation learns the whole image and assigns a class of the enclosed object to the corresponding pixels in the image. Thus, semantic segmentation can be more powerful than object detection. The foundational architecture of semantic segmentation is based on the encoder-decoder network, where the encoder creates a high-dimensional feature vector and aggregates it at different levels, while the decoder creates a semantic segmentation mask at a different level of the neural network. Whereas the encoder uses a traditional CNN, the decoder uses unpooling, deconvolution...

Overview of this book
Computer vision allows machines to gain human-level understanding to visualize, process, and analyze images and videos. This book focuses on using TensorFlow to help you learn advanced computer vision tasks such as image acquisition, processing, and analysis. You'll start with the key principles of computer vision and deep learning to build a solid foundation, before covering neural network architectures and understanding how they work rather than using them as a black box. Next, you'll explore architectures such as VGG, ResNet, Inception, R-CNN, SSD, YOLO, and MobileNet. As you advance, you'll learn to use visual search methods using transfer learning. You'll also cover advanced computer vision concepts such as semantic segmentation, image inpainting with GAN's, object tracking, video segmentation, and action recognition. Later, the book focuses on how machine learning and deep learning concepts can be used to perform tasks such as edge detection and face recognition. You'll then discover how to develop powerful neural network models on your PC and on various cloud platforms. Finally, you'll learn to perform model optimization methods to deploy models on edge devices for real-time inference. By the end of this book, you'll have a solid understanding of computer vision and be able to confidently develop models to automate tasks.
