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.

Technical requirements

Image captioning is a problem that requires vast amounts of resources in terms of memory, storage, and computing power. My recommendation is that you use a cloud-based solution such as AWS or FloydHub to run the recipes in this chapter unless you have sufficiently capable hardware. As expected, a GPU is of paramount importance to complete the recipes in this chapter. In the Getting ready section of each recipe, you'll find what you'll need to prepare. The code of this chapter is available here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Tensorflow-2.0-Computer-Vision-Cookbook/tree/master/ch7.
