In this chapter, you got a deep overview of various object detector methods and practical methods of training an object detector using your own custom image from start to finish. Some of the key concepts learned are how to work with Google Cloud to evaluate an object detector, how to use labelImg to create an annotation file, how to link Google Drive to a Google Colab notebook to read files, how to generate a TensorFlow tfRecord file from .xml and .jpg files, how to start a training process and monitor readings during training, how to create TensorBoard to observe training accuracy, how to save a model after training, and how to perform inference with the saved model. Using this methodology, you can select your object class and create an object detection model for inference. You also learned various techniques for object tracking, such as Kalman filtering and neural network...

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.
