TensorFlow 2.0 Computer Vision Cookbook

By: Jesús Martínez

Overview of this book

Computer vision is a scientific field that enables machines to identify and process digital images and videos. This book focuses on independent recipes to help you perform various computer vision tasks using TensorFlow. The book begins by taking you through the basics of deep learning for computer vision, along with covering TensorFlow 2.x’s key features, such as the Keras and tf.data.Dataset APIs. You’ll then learn about the ins and outs of common computer vision tasks, such as image classification, transfer learning, image enhancing and styling, and object detection. The book also covers autoencoders in domains such as inverse image search indexes and image denoising, while offering insights into various architectures used in the recipes, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), region-based CNNs (R-CNNs), VGGNet, and You Only Look Once (YOLO). Moving on, you’ll discover tips and tricks to solve any problems faced while building various computer vision applications. Finally, you’ll delve into more advanced topics such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), video processing, and AutoML, concluding with a section focused on techniques to help you boost the performance of your networks. By the end of this TensorFlow book, you’ll be able to confidently tackle a wide range of computer vision problems using TensorFlow 2.x.

Loading images using the Keras API

In this recipe, we will learn how to load images using the Keras API, a very important task considering that, in computer vision, we'll always work with visual data. In particular, we'll learn how to open, explore, and visualize a single image, as well as a batch of them. Additionally, we will learn how to programmatically download a dataset.

Getting ready

Keras relies on the Pillow library to manipulate images. You can install it easily using pip:

$> pip install Pillow

Let's get started!

How to do it…

Now, let's begin this recipe:

  1. Import the necessary packages:
    import glob
    import os
    import tarfile
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator
    from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image 
    import load_img, img_to_array
    from tensorflow.keras.utils import get_file
  2. Define the URL and destination of the CINIC-10 dataset, an alternative to the famous...
